3/1

Built on debut promise when opening her account in 1m novice at Newcastle in September. Really strong at the finish when successful at Nottingham on reappearance 11 days ago and there's more to come.

Form: 2123-1

11/4

Lightly-raced filly who resumed her progress with cosy success in a C&D handicap on final 3-y-o start in September. Caught the ye on reappearance 2 weeks ago and looks ahead of her mark. Hood back on.

10/1

Kept very busy as a juvenile and was largely disappointing n a lighter 3-y-o campaign. Left Richard Hannon and made a sound start for new yard at Nottingham, though she has work to do with Lights On.

20/1

Successful twice last summer and ended 2-y-o season on the up with a runner-up effort in Group 3 company. Yet to his same heights on the AW this spring and mark looks tough on balance.

Form: 1452-83

4/1

Had bumped into one on handicap debut final start at 3 yrs and, after 6 months off, showed plenty to work on when seventh of 20 in 1m handicap at Doncaster. Disappointing behind Lights On latest.

5/1

Won first 2 handicap starts in October and didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up at Newcastle the following month (7f). Will stay 1m and could easily have more to offer.

Really found her groove back over 1m in 2021 winning 3 times on the AW. Clearly fit and in form bur meets a different calibre of opponent switched to turf.

DREAMLOPER retains plenty of potential as a lightly-raced 4-y-o and following an eye-catching reappearance at Haydock, there's a strong feeling that her mark is well within range. Lights On beat a couple of these when making the perfect return at Nottingham and is the obvious threat.
