Wedding Date, an easy winner at Chester in May, has been highly tried subsequently though looks vulnerable under a penalty. Her stable also run Happy Harmony, who been pulling too hard in her races. Orange Blossom has had four starts, all in Listed or Group company, so she's obviously highly regarded and has first-time blinkers. Leodis Dream, by Dandy Man out of a 5f winner, looked to have bundles of natural pace when attempting to make all over the track and trip on his debut and was only caught in the closing stages. JUST BE FRIENDLY is another speedster having almost made all over 6f at Ripon and the drop down in trip can see her gain her first success.
