Dream Ally was in good form at Southwell early in the year but hasn’t raced since April and Roaring Rory’s earlier placed effort here came over the minimum trip. Kroy won over 7f at the track last month and could go well but Skyva is preferred on his recent efforts on the Tapeta having been beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton last time. SANTAFIORA has yet to win a handicap but went close to doing so when failing to catch the winner by only a neck over course and distance on her latest start and Julie Camacho’s filly gets another chance.
