Ahlawy won at Epsom two starts ago but this trip isn't guaranteed to bring about a return to winning ways but a big run may come from DESTINYS DREAM. She has won three times in her last seven runs and the trip and ground should suit and her last run was by no means bad against tough Listed opposition at York. She gets the vote. Abergavenny is interesting with his three-year-old allowance for a trainer with a 24% win record over the last five seasons. Burnett looks for assistance with a first time visor and Granston a course and distance winner here in May are others with claims. John Quinn trained the winner last year and has Folk Tune here but our preference is for Destinys Dream.
