Dream Win looks poised to do well in this race and there may be some value in previous course and distance winner Pab Special but our preference is for WHISPERING SPIRIT who comfortably pushed on to win last time out. The four-year-old Ann Duffield trained filly beat Goodbye Cash last time out at Kempton. There is every chance that she can run well again here and we side with her to pick up back-to-back wins. Pab Special has run fairly poorly so far this year but when last seen at this course he emerged victorious and may be able to deliver a challenge to our pick. Dream Win was runner-up last time out behind Yankee Storm but has shown winning form already this year when finishing first of twelve runners at Redcar last month. This is an interesting affair that can go the way of Whispering Spirit.
