In depth
Verdict
Jennifer's Dream and Jim Martin are rated well clear of the rest here and should have it between them, while Gap Princess is in form and could make the frame, but for the winner we will side with Jennifer's Dream. The selection was thought good enough to contest a Listed race last backend, and although she was out of her depth there, the form of her Ripon maiden win and subsequent Leicester nursery run look strong in comparison to most here. Six furlongs and good ground suits and she is taken to score. Jim Martin is also officially rated 80 and won a 7f Newcastle maiden on debut last July. This is his first try over such a short trip but his dam was decent over 6f so there are reasons to believe he can run a big race. Gap Princess has plenty to find on official figures but had a confidence-boosting win in a minor handicap at Carlisle last time and handles this track pretty well, so he has frame claims. The same can be said of Dickie Le Davoir, especially if the rains come, while Binario Uno looks best of the remainder, but preference here is for Jennifer's Dream.
