Emotional Dream has decent form to her credit at around this trip so what she was doing racing against mainly hurdlers over 2m1f at Clonmel is anyone's guess. She's definitely the pick on her earlier form though this could prove just too short and SPARKLING VIEW may have her measure. The daughter of Danehill Dancer is out of a mare who won a Listed contest over 1m4f and has produced the useful Profound Beauty so her three runs to date at around a mile have been over inadequate trips. Whisper Gently didn't have much chance behind the useful Unaccompanied at Navan last month but was by no means disgraced and with progress likely she can prove a threat.
