Baharah is impossible to oppose here with Den's Gift and Virgilia rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third on his debut behind Paco Boy, looks sure to improve and from a good draw he is taken to win this before going on to better things. Den's Gift rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Sandrey but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 396 day break. Virgilia was eighth on her debut behind Fairnilee and is sure to improve but she is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Accolation may be seen to better effect once handicapped. Baharah is taken to win this before going on to better things.
