Verdict
Dawn Surprise is likely to be all the rage here and she is given the nomination with Hunter's Valley and Noveau Riche the ones we fear the most. The selection did not quite live up to the hype on this track last time when second behind Quiff. She failed to see out the trip that day and dropped to a mile here we are prepared to give her another chance to make amends. Hunter's Valley hails from the in-form Richard Hannon yard and is another worth considering. This filly has a rating of 78 and was a beaten favourite over 7 furlongs on this track last time. She is clearly capable of better than that and with the step up in trip likely to be in her favour she could go well. Noveau Riche ran well on her debut at Goodwood behind the John Gosden filly Cut Short, and as she is likely to come on for that run she could go well. Of the remainder, Posteritas is from a yard in form and she was only a neck behind Noveau Riche in that Goodwood race so she is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Dawn Surprise.
