SO SURREAL has only won a seller and a modest handicap on her last two starts but the filly has certainly hit a rich vein of form and it may be worth taking her to complete a hat-trick. She's 10lbs higher than for the first success and up in trip but has appeared to score with something in hand and looks to be progressing well. Dichoh will be more at home returned to this venue and has each-way claims along with Recalcitrant but stronger challenges may be laid down by another progressive filly in Sweet Secret and Super Duplex who has something to prove over this trip on the all-weather but can be forgiven a heavy defeat on testing ground at Epsom whilst April Fool cannot be ignored.
