Verdict
DAWN OF HOPE cost 220,000 euros and is a half-sister to stablemate and Listed winner Ayrad among others. She may be good enough on her debut though Roger Varian's other filly Karisma is related to three winners and could also figure. Porta Rosa and Peru are other newcomers to note while Richard Hughes keeps faith with Marenko, well beaten on her debut, ahead of Light Up Our World. Summer Icon never threatened on her introduction at Chepstow and steps up in distance.
