Verdict

HEATHER GLEN has improved for stepping up in trip and made the frame on her last two starts. She just failed to catch Sundown Trail at Sedgefield last time and can go one better here with further progress expected. Changing Lanes may do better dropped in class and Hexham winner Delightfully is back on a winning mark if rediscovering her best. The remainder look to have plenty on their plate, though Dawn Ride has a third here to his credit back in May.
