In depth
Verdict
Charlotte Vale was just denied last time and may be capable of gaining compensation here with Westcourt Dream and Sand and Stars the ones to beat. This filly was a good second behind Dark Raider at Ayr last time and she will benefit from the step up in trip here. She is still open to plenty of improvement and she is given the confident nomination. Westcourt Dream won last time out in an apprentice fillies' handicap at Beverley, but that was a weak race and there are doubts over whether she will stay the trip so on this occasion she is best watched. Sand and Stars has been in fair form of late and she could go well if she gets a truly run race. Cantemerle is another worth a second look in the market and her chance would be boosted if there is any further rain, but Charlotte Vale caught the eye last time and could be ready to take her turn.
