Dream Child won a Listed contest in France last month and stays this longer trip. She finished just ahead of ARABIAN COMET when runner-up at Goodwood in May but that was the latter's only outing of the year so far and the Haggas filly may well be up to landing this with her yard in such good form. Jordan Princess and Tioga Pass finished behind the selection at Goodwood while Cheshire Oaks third Bright Approach has her first start since something went amiss in last year's Ribblesdale. Desert Snow was a progressive handicapper last year and may figure but the remainder have plenty to find on these terms.
