      Verdict

      A small but competitive field goes to post for the first on the card and the principals look to be Kindle Ball, Our Dream and Dd's Glenalla and we will side with Our Dream. The five-year-old from the Mary Reveley yard has been in fair form of late without wining but a reproduction of her latest second behind Countess Camila would make her hard to beat. Kindle Ball rates the main danger she won well last time out when defeating It's Sunny, however she has never won over a trip this far before and her best form has come on faster ground so for that reason she is opposed. Dd's Glenalla is also worthy of respect but she was behind the selection last time and will need to improve again to win even on these revised terms. Of the remainder Barton May is one of the least exposed in the field and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Our Dream.
