    Verdict

    Indian Blessing and Dan's Dream are sent from the UK. The former ran very well in the USA after landing a Group 3 at Hamburg but has a penalty to carry. The latter has also won at that level but that was last April so she avoids a penalty. Drombeg Dream has managed to win five times but has been well beaten whenever she's attempted Group company but Foxtrot Liv, who beat a huge field of maidens here in August, has finished runner-up at Listed and Group 3 level on her last two starts. I Remember You ended her first campaign winning a Leopardstown nursery but was well beaten when reappearing in a Group 3 there a month ago. Her stable companion HAPPEN finished runner-up in that latter contest where she made steady late progress. She looked in need of the run and an entry in the Oaks at Epsom suggests better is expected of her.
