Verdict

Luxford won this in 2017 and recent close-up third at Chelmsford suggests she can figure once again but JOYFUL DREAM has similar credentials. She finished third off a higher mark in last year’s renewal and after going close over track and trip last time, John Butler’s mare gets the vote. Stablemate Rock In Society won at Chelmsford last month while Hidden Stash posted a better effort over a mile here a week ago. It was soft ground when Song Of Summer found one too good at Yarmouth last time but Inspirational could go well in this grade on her handicap debut.
