        Verdict

        In the opener, Dream Day is selected ahead of Raymi Coya and Joffe's Run. An all-weather winner on her debut, Dream Day was then only just denied in a decent Conditions event at Newbury last time. She is ready for a try in this type of company. Her conqueror at Newbury, Rosa Grace, is now four pounds worse off for three-quarters-of-a-length. Joffe's Run improved for the step up to seven furlongs last time to win at Salisbury and the form has a pretty solid look to it. However, Raymi Coya finished third in Listed company last time, and would have fared even better if she had not met with some interference during the contest. Her form is probably the strongest on offer and, as such, she looks to be a leading player today. Finally, much as Royal Confidence landed a valuable nursery at Doncaster last time out, more improvement is needed if she is going to win today. For the selection, then, we return to Dream Day.
