Verdict

Bonds Choice showed promise in three runs at York in the first half of last season, especially when third in June. She shouldn't be far away while Maureb was sent over to the Curragh for a valuable sales race in September and should pick up a minor contest sooner rather than later, though she may need another furlong. Midnight Dance was well backed at Bath in the autumn but never really figured and still has plenty to prove, as does Rock Follies. TOHFA held her own in decent company last summer between 5f and 7f. She should handle conditions today and is fancied to get off the mark.
