In depth

Verdict

Quickfire finished second of only three runners at Salisbury while Blue Collar struggled in a much tougher nursery than this at York last month. UNREAL CONNECTION (NAP) has a stayer's pedigree but had enough speed to win over 7f at Epsom last time so she gets the vote on her handicap debut with this extra distance likely to suit. Centurion Dream and Mister Daydream took a step backwards last time though soft ground was an excuse for the former.
