In depth

Verdict

DREAM CHILD (NAP) has taken to the Tapeta like a duck to water and was winning for the fourth time on the surface when successful over 1m4f here last month. She's been raised a further 6lb since but could yet make a pattern-race performer and, with the drop back in trip no problem, can score again under Kevin Stott. Boonga Roogeta won in this grade in 2013 but struggled last year and Hedge End has climbed the weights without winning. Dame Lucy probably needs further while Lingfield winner Maiden Approach may find this too tough.
