Race Overview: Bahamian Pirate is the pick in the finale, with Song Of Passion, Commando Scott and Dhaular Dhar seen as the main dangers. Dandy Nicholls has no less than five runners here, and it is Bahamian Pirate that is expected to prove the best of them. The 12-year-old is nearing a well-earned retirement now, and it would be nice to see him capture this decent prize, but sentiment apart, his last two outings give cause for encouragement. Second in a big field on soft ground at Ascot last month, he then failed narrowly to give weight to My Gacho at Thirsk, and looks all set to make a bold bid to give his trainer a sixth win in this event in the past 10 years, en-route to the Wokingham. Song Of Passion is now 4lb better off with Dhaular Dhah for the length-and-a-half that separated them at Chester, and so there should be little between the pair, while Newmarket winner Commando Scott should go well with the ground very much in his favour. They appear to be the main contenders then, but given the record of Dandy Nicholls in this event, we have to go for one of his, and do so with Bahamian Pirate.
