BAJAN BULLET gets our vote in this seller after having placed three times in five starts, whilst the main challenges may come from King of Cassis and Muse To Use. Bajan Bullet came second in a maiden here on the 11th May and only just lost out then. Although a disappointing sixth followed at Bath, on ratings alone Bajan Bullet should have too much for the rest of the field. King of Cassis has made a poor start to his career but a reasonable record for Bill Turner at this course could lead to a more promising performance here. Muse to Use ran a good race to place second at Ripon on debut but a less astute performance at Thirsk leads to questions about the filly and is best watched on this occasion. Artic Rose ran in that same race at Thirsk and finished fourth nine lengths behind the winner. Although there are reservations about the selection, we tentatively side with Bajan Bullet.
