Verdict
DREAMS OF THUNDER (NAP) was punching above her weight in the Lowther Stakes last term but she has won at Nottingham already this season and remains open to further improvement. True Jem disappointed here last month though she had performed well in a previous visit to Merseyside in May. Fox Hill is a little more exposed than most so of more appeal could be Little Miss Dynamo. The handicapper ranked her two novice victories at Ripon highly but she's slipped down the weights in handicaps and looks worth another chance.
