Verdict
There are a few front-runners in this so the pace should be strong. Bogside Theatre will be one of those at the head of affairs but may get outpaced by a few of these over a trip that's probably short of her best. Shadows Lengthen had a spin on the Flat last month and has scope for improvement over timber, as does Ubi Ace. But this can go EUROPEAN DREAM, who has conditions in his favour today. He's a pound lower than when runner-up to Hunterview in a better race on soft ground at Musselburgh in February and proved his well-being with a brave win over 1m1f on heavy ground on the Flat at Ayr last month. Scriptwriter, Bogside and Empress Orchid all have ability but return from their summer break here.
