There are five previous course and distance winners in this so it's a competitive affair. SLEEP WALK's hat-trick bid came up short at Kempton last month and she's gone up another 3lb since. But Roger Charlton's filly had excuses that day and she could yet prove a cut above this level. The Dandy Yank and recent Haydock winner Fantasy Justifier are other three-year-olds with decent claims and are preferred to Silverrica and Ada Lovelace. My Meteor is in form though may find this company too hot but Time Medicean could go well if refreshed following a short break.
