Verdict
This is a very ordinary contest which won't take much winning. Jo Hughes' runners here are often worth a second look but Compton Sky has yet to show much in the way of ability. Tessellate's Lingfield second came in a seller and she was beaten seven lengths but Wharane was fourth over a longer trip here last time and now sports headgear, as does Kimbelle. SWEET DREAM LADY is bred to be better than she showed in three starts in maidens last year and maybe another winter on her back will have produced some improvement so Gary Moore's filly is given the nod.
