In depth
Verdict
Hannah's Dream hails from the top yard of Mark Johnston so has to be respected on her debut, but we will give another chance to Ringarooma, with Corniche Dancer also expected to be in at the death. The Mark Tompkins trained filly made an eyecatching debut at Newmarket, but failed to build on that when a well beaten favourite next time. It could be that she found the seven furlongs a little too far and back over this shorter trip we may see a different performance. Corniche Dancer has taken a while to get the hang of things but put up an improved performance to chase home Toffee Vodka at Lingfield last time, if showing the same progression back on the turf, she will be a major threat to the selection. Hannah's Dream is a filly by King's Best so may appreciate a little bit further, but nevertheless she should be carefully monitored in the betting. Street Ballad may prove best of the others, but Ringarooma is expected to bounce back to form over this shorter trip.
