Verdict

Bridge Night continued her good progress with a victory at Bath last time and City Image beat stablemate Botanica at Windsor on her debut. Both can figure in this but SANDREAMER also made a winning debut when successful on the Rowley course at this track last month. With improvement expected, Mick Channon's filly gets the vote as she had the re-opposing Tipping Over a couple of lengths behind. The latter boosted the form when making all over C&D earlier this month beating a subsequent winner in the process and another bold bid looks likely from her but Hasanan and Pontefract winner Fantacise have a bit of catching up to do to match the principals. Baileys Jubilee and Threes Grand have disappointed of late and both finished down the field in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot last time.
