Broadhaven Dream used the rail to good effect when winning over track and trip last month and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form. But he’s 7lb higher and taking on better opposition today including SHOW ME THE BUBBLY. The latter went close in this grade at Catterick last time and first-time headgear may bring the necessary improvement to get her head back in front. Union Rose never threatened when fourth here but still finished in front of Glamorous Rocket but course regular and last year’s winner Quantum Dot arrives out of form.
