Verdict
My Dream Boat only found one too good at Hamilton and Ayr in the summer but Regal Ways' latest third at Leicester over this trip looks better form and Mark Johnston's filly also makes more appeal than Redcar runner-up Structured Note and Lone Star Boy. But TAFAHOM, who is by Acclamation out of a Selkirk mare, wears his owner's first colours in preference to the already-gelded Terhaal and can make a winning debut.
