In depth
Verdict
Barathea Dreams could provide the answer here, with Jackie Kiely and Almost Welcome possibly proving the biggest dangers. Looking at the runners, Princess Ismene has bits of form but many of her recent runs have come in sellers. Foot Fault has never raced beyond seven furlongs but, on breeding, this longer trip should suit. Do not be surprised to see her go well. Tonto could also improve for the extra distance, a similar comment applying to Garrigon, who is weighted to beat Princess Ismene based on course claimer form in March. Jackie Kiely improved over this course and distance last time and should go well again here, while Almost Welcome has a length-and-a-half to find on the selection based on their course and distance runs on February 24. That looks just about the best form on offer and, accordingly, Barathea Dreams gets the vote.
