Verdict
Buxted Dream failed to land the odds on the Turf course at Lingfield last month though she did finish well clear of the rest and may have come up against a smart newcomer. Top Mission was placed for the third time in succession when favourite at Newbury recently and should be thereabouts again but a chance is taken on PEACH MELBA. The latter was beaten only a head at Carlisle on her debut with the third nine lengths behind and Mark Johnston’s filly may prove good enough. Malcolm The Pug needs to improve this year and the 200,000gns newcomer Pioneertown is bred for further.
