Verdict

JOSH'S DREAMWAY has won twice in the grade on good ground. She'll be all the better for her third at Worcester, when Romance Dance was behind, and can get back on the winning trail here with Young Mags having been raised 5lb since winning at Sedgefield. Adiynara faces a stiff task at the weights for a four-year-old, as does the returning Fulgora, while Illysantachristina was withdrawn from a race at Bangor yesterday and her participation may be in doubt here. Withy Mills may be best of the rest but that's not saying much.
