Verdict

BLAST THE DREAM landed the odds without too much fuss at Southwell a fortnight ago and with the prospect of more to come in handicaps, she's taken to go in again. Bantz is more exposed but was better than ever last time and this step up in trip looks well worth exploring, with Lady Marko a potential improver.
