Verdict
Spring Dream looks the pick in this contest with Rose Row and Bassinet put up as dangers. Alan King's charge does need to reverse form with Rose Row to win this but with the combination of revised weights and different going; we are confident that Spring Dream will be up to the task. Bassinet had shown fair form in France prior to joining James Toller. She has been busy on the all-weather this spring. Gamesters Lady has dropped massively in the weights and is one to note if the market speaks in her favour. Never Pink has not shown much since joining current connections. Adage and Queen Excalibur look exposed. Spring Dream is the selection.
