Pleasant Valley is clearly improving at a rate of knots and is well worth a try in this grade having won a handicap at Pontefract in a canter on her latest start. But DREAM CHILD (NAP) had the form of her unlucky second to Miss Marjurie at Goodwood franked when the winner followed up in a Group 3 at Haydock on Saturday. Charlie Appleby's filly has the beating of Tioga Pass, Momentus and Mutatis Mutandis and gets the vote. Doncaster winner Monaleen faces her stiffest task to date while the longer trip may be beyond Semaral and Solar Magic but My Spirit stays 1m4f and was holding her own in Listed company in the autumn.
