Comment: Form of debut success (1m, AW) has some substance; turned over at very short odds in Salisbury contest (1m2f) since but may benefit from this slight drop back in trip and remains open to progress.

Comment: Industriously made all in a small-field 1m maiden at Bath (firm), repelling the market leader; looks the type to pay her way in handicaps.

Comment: Justified favouritism on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good) but dropped away tamely when again the market leader at Newmarket (behind Lady Manzor); can be forgiven one bad day at the office.

9/2

Comment: Both wins over 7f on the Lingfield AW but perhaps her best form yet when switched to turf at Newmarket, which was also her first attempt at 1m (in touch throughout); shouldn't be far away with Jack Dace again taking away 7lb.

Blast The Dream

Jockey: J Mitchell Trainer: Roger Varian Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 52-118 OR: 77

7/1

Comment: Presumably hated the heavy ground when tailed off in a French Listed race last time (1m2f); those lofty ambitions were fuelled by progressive form on the AW, including a 1m handicap off just 2lb lower; entitled to be in the thick of it provided she doesn't need the run after 100 days away.

Comment: Backed up his second at Doncaster by taking a competitive 1m6f handicap at Chelmsford; always in a good position there and battled on for a narrow success; 3lb rise is very fair and he's up to winning on turf.

Comment: 1m4f AW novice winner and added a 1m2f turf handicap late last year; beaten about 5l in two 1m4f handicaps this season but feasibly handicapped if she can run into some form; whether she has the reserves for this longer trip is questionable.

Comment: Usually ridden by Jack Dace; this six-time winner has had plenty of racing but he was in a first-time hood when close up behind Macari at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm); whether he'll be as good again remains to be seen as inconsistency can creep in.
