Verdict
DESTINY OF DREAMS won at Folkestone before going close again in soft ground at Lingfield recently. Jo Crowley's filly found only the progressive Silken Thoughts too good last time and a repeat should be good enough to get her head back in front here. Amistress has been in good form on fast ground of late, but it was only a claimer that Dazakhee won at Kempton on Wednesday and she carries a 6lb penalty here. Only You Maggie is 9lb higher than her earlier win at Ffos Las, but Ecossaise may be capable of better on her handicap debut.
