      Verdict

      ORIENTAL GRACE made a winning start over course and distance earlier this month when good value for much more than the narrow winning margin. She should go close in an open contest, though Dream Dreamer makes a quick reappearance after scoring at Windsor during the week by over four lengths and makes more appeal than Rockfield Last, the winner of a seller at Redcar last time. Sixties Sue ran well in a higher grade on her debut and may get the better of French Encore, Thee And Me and Raj To Riches, who all ran below par on their latest starts.
