Verdict
ONE LUCKY LADY has won on the Flat and scored twice over hurdles last year. She was below her best over timber last time but looks up to landing this given her yard's impressive strike rate in these events. Dreambrook Lady is rated higher over hurdles than both Josh's Dreamway and Lady Kathleen and has a shout while Adiynara is no stranger to this surface though she's yet to win in five starts on the all-weather. As I Am is a bumper winner and could figure along with Lilac Belle and Phase Shift has been placed at this track on the Flat.
