Verdict

Whistledown paid her first visit here last month and though winning narrowly had a bit in hand. BEAR TO DREAM has won twice on fast going at Brighton this summer and though now 7lb higher than her latest success is probably the one to beat. Blue Collar Lad hasn't won since his debut and was beaten a long way into second last time while Voodoo Ray was well supported at Brighton but failed to fire.
