Verdict

Several of these are appealing but none more so than BAY OF BENGAL, who landed a big-field 9.4f Gowran maiden on debut in April and she was a good second to a reliable type pitched into a handicap over the same C&D recently. There should be more to come from this unexposed filly. Finans Bay is respected back in handicap company, while the hat-trick seeking Chicago Bear is also shortlisted, along with recent winners Magic Chegaga and Daylight Come.

  1. BAY OF BENGAL (IRE)
  2. FINANS BAY (IRE)
  3. CHICAGO BEAR (IRE)
