Scream stayed on well behind Betsey Trotter at Navan on her first run on a quick surface. She makes her handicap debut today and makes plenty of appeal but another three-year-old, WISDOM MIND (NAP), ran well for fourth in a strong handicap at the Curragh after winning her maiden on the same course earlier and is probably worth another chance. Thiswaycadeaux has gone up 4lb for winning at Sligo but has a 7lb claimer on board. However, all of her form is on much softer ground. Artistic Melody might need her first run since January and is better over a mile while Dream Of Words reverted to type at the Curragh after winning on a holding surface at Gowran. Honor Oak looks too high in the weights now.
