A nice fillies maiden is next on the agenda which should throw up future winners but SCORN gets the nod over Island Dreams and Best Intent. John Gosden is 2-7 with his three-year-olds at this track and it's really interesting his daughter of Seeking The Gold makes the long trip north. Connections really like this big strong filly and she is entitled to come on for her seasonal reappearance where she ran second to a decent type. This filly could develop into a listed/group class horse if she continues to progress and her homework has been good of recent weeks. She will have to confirm placings with Island Dreams though who is entitled to come on for her first ever run. She has about three and a half lengths to find with the selection but has plenty scope for improvement. Similar comments apply to Best Intent who left her debut run well behind when finishing fourth in a nice race at Nottingham. There have been mixed messages from that form but Michael Jarvis is in good form so she must be monitored. Najlaa is another to note but Scorn gets the call.
