Assuming that he is not friendless in the betting, this could be another good opportunity for LA DIOSA to win at the main expense of Turn To Dreams. A former William Haggas inmate, the selection was a winner of a seller here in January on her first start for the yard. She took an age to get going on that day and looked a lost cause as they turned for home so it was some improvement in the end and the step up in trip looks an obvious plus. Turn To Dreams only has 3lb to find at these weights with the selection and the David Evans' trained filly should be on the premises however she is a 23-race maiden and surely not for no reason. Ed's Pride represents a yard going well but has shown very little to date, Incy Wincy has an official rating of 25 and looks very poor, whilst Haafhds Delight has been well-held in three starts and is now dropped in grade. Herecomesbella has a decent pull in the weights with the selection on their clash last time and rates as a more feasible danger. A weak race, with the vote going to La Diosa.
