The History Man and Thoughtsofstardom are amongst those that figure prominently but it may prove worth taking a chance with BAHAMA BAILEYS at the foot of the weights. The selection has to race from out of the weights today but may benefit from Amy Scott taking over in the saddle from an apprentice who was having just his second ride. His inexperience was notable at Folkestone but that didn't prevent Bahama Baileys from running on strongly in the closing stages to finish third and he's certainly well enough handicapped having been as high as 81 a few years back. Thoughtsofstardom was one place in front at Folkestone and has held his form well since then, making the frame here before finishing held at Brighton. The History Man wasn't too far behind him over five furlongs here in April and should go well again whilst Kingsmaite is the subject of a decent booking but Bahama Baileys gets the nod.
