Raised 7lbs, Freya's Dream has more to do than when beating a big field at Doncaster, but she looks a progressive filly and must not be underestimated, while stablemate Raphael, who takes a drop in class here, also has a chance of sorts. The Handicapper looks to have hold of Eastern Hope, but Royal Storm could prove to be better than he has shown so far. A fine, big rangy individual, he impressed on fast ground at Warwick and with the hot weather continuing, the ground should be ideal for him. The main danger could prove to be another unexposed individual Boo B Prize, who is a half-brother to the useful Cruachan and Banbury.
