Verdict

This looks a hot little contest, with several of the big yards represented. Bahamian Dancer looks the one to be with. He has the best form on offer and is taken to make the most of his experience. Dhabyan showed enough on his debut to suggest he can win a maiden and on a line through Silver Seeker, he would have every chance. Battle Chant will win a little race somewhere, but his yard remains out of sorts and is passed over. Of the newcomers Balkan Knight, whose dam was third in the Vodafone Oaks, Majestic Horizon a 160,000 guinea yearling and Stressless, who holds an entry in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes, are ones to keep an eye on
