Dual winner including over 7f here back in January. Well beaten tenth in a 1m handicap at Kempton a month ago and market support would be notable off a mark 3lb lower than for her most recent victory.

Maiden winner over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm) in September last year but had just two starts since including when 12L last of 11 over 7f at Newmarket (good-to-firm) on stable and seasonal debut in July. Others make more appeal upped in trip.

A Place To Dream³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Murphy| OR: 61

14/1

Form: 8-236

Forecasts

Roman Spinner (9/2), Sassoon (9/2), Puerto Banus (6/1), Zefferino (6/1), Scorched Breath (13/2), Takeonefortheteam (8/1), Jack Berry House (8/1), A Place To Dream (14/1), Black Medick (20/1), Redemptive (20/1), Red Armour (25/1), De Little Engine (25/1)

TAKEONEFORTHETEAM has been in good form of late and he is taken to defy a wide draw to take this competitive handicap event. Zefferino carries top weight here and was in good form prior to disappointing on his latest outing and he can finish runner-up while third place can go to Roman Spinner who is well handicapped on her old form and wasn't beaten far when fifth on her latest outing.
