Ten race maiden but ran a fair race when finishing eighth of 12 in an AW contest over an extended 7f in France last time. Tried to make all on that occasion and an interesting runner with a visor applied.

Promising debut when runner-up over 7f on good-to-soft ground here last October. Disappointing since including in blinkers (absent today) on soft ground at Yarmouth over this trip last time out.

Forecasts

Tenby Two (6/4), Dreamofdiscovery (9/4), Scarlet Thrush (7/2), Flawed Diamond (8/1), Garth Rockett (12/1), Oscar Ranger (16/1)

Verdict

The application of cheekpieces can see DREAMOFDISCOVERY record his first career victory on his first start in a selling race. The selection ran well over 1m at Newcastle on his penultimate outing and can get the better of Tenby Two who has done most of her racing over much further while Scarlet Thrush disappointing so far this season has run well at this track in the past and can claim third today.
