The last time COOL BAHAMIAN was dropped into Class 4 company he won a handicap at Newmarket and he's only 2lb higher so gets the vote. Evening Attire won three times on the all-weather over the winter and returned to Turf with a short-head defeat at Leicester. He has to be a threat on that form while the lightly-raced Jersey Breeze, who had some smart juvenile form, made a promising reappearance after a very long break at Salisbury a fortnight ago. The veteran Pastoral Player hasn't run since November but is back on the same mark as when last successful in this grade at Goodwood in June.
