Verdict
Holdenhurst is penalised for an earlier success at Brighton and was a well beaten runner-up back at the same track last week. Dreamboat Annie won a maiden over track and trip recently but has plenty to find on these terms with another filly in PURSUING THE DREAM, rated 91. The latter finished a respectable sixth in the Queen Mary at Ascot and that looks stronger form than Connery’s effort in the Coventry Stakes. Aquadabra is usually thereabouts at this level but she’s another with it all to do at the weights.
