In depth
Verdict
American Ladie was largely disappointing when with Alan King and it doesn't look as though a switch to Jamie Snowden's yard has improved her attitude. She was beaten seven lengths by Yemeni Princess at Fontwell earlier this month and, though 7lb better off here, couldn't be guaranteed to reverse the form with the winner. Cresswell Bramble got off the mark when beating Carhue Princess at Ffos Las but that form doesn't look as strong as YVONNE EVELYN's second to Seedless at Bangor in July. The latter had Yemeni Princess well behind that day and can return to winning ways here. Dream Function was made favourite at Huntingdon in February when the selection finished third but lost all chance with a bad blunder and was allowed to come home in her own time. She is capable of better but may just need this.
