Why We Dream was narrowly beaten over a mile at Newbury on her return and has every chance on that form given the winner has won again since. But JAWWAAL is just preferred on last month’s fourth over today’s trip at Newmarket and the Gosden colt can open his account. Excelleration showed ability when placed on the Polytrack here on his debut while Recollect will likely finish closer on today’s faster ground than he did at Doncaster last time. Salute The Soldier is another to consider on last year’s placed efforts while 200,000gns purchase Ledham is a newcomer to note.
