Verdict
Stealthelimelight finished second in a nursery at Chester earlier this month and has obvious claims off just a 3lb higher mark, while Savernake Brave showed improved form when second to a useful yardstick last time but preference is for Beauty Of Dreams, who is taken to give weight away all round. The selection represents the stable of Mick Channon that has a good record with their runners in this type of event and comes here on the back of a good win over the stiff five furlongs at Beverley last time. The extra furlong should not be a problem and, off what looks a fair mark, she is taken to follow up. Stealthelimelight only went down by a short head to Harry Up at Chester and should be thereabouts again. Savernake Brave seemed to show improved form when second to Kuringai at Brighton and looks fairly treated on that evidence, while Richard Hannon's Marysienka may do better now that she runs in nurseries. Rehia did not beat much when winning at Leicester and a bigger threat may come from dual plating winner Only If I Laugh but Beauty Of Dreams looks well-in at the weights and is the selection.
