This is a very modest affair and although Bahri Beat could be anything, given the pedigree this already gelded juvenile is worth watching on debut. Face The Future was relatively costly at 72,000guineas but he's shown little so far. Ivan's A Star is looking exposed and preference is for NEYTIRI who found a mile too far last time. This trip should be more suitable and Ralph Beckett is 3-3 with juvenile entries here this year. Dunmore Boy and Bernisdale are also worth considering. Dunmore Boy races for a respected trainer, particularly with two-year-olds whilst Bernisdale is officially rated the one to beat on BHA ratings. In a race lacking in quality, Neytiri gets the marginal vote
