Verdict
A tricky little race with top weight Upper Lambourn an unknown on turf after his very easy victory in a claimer on Fibresand at Southwell. Grandmas Dream keeps finding one too good and was beaten easily at Lingfield last time but Fair Value is progressing and only faded in the closing stages at Windsor when last seen in May. Lady Prodee has only ever raced on Polytrack and has scored twice from five starts so she must pose a threat if taking to turf but VOLCANIC DUST gets the vote as she battled to victory at Leicester before an even better effort at Epsom where she would have gone close but for hanging in the closing stages.
