      Verdict

      A race likely to produce plenty of future winners and DREAM APPROVAL looks the one to be on. Daniel Kubler's filly dotted up at Brighton on her second racecourse start, and on the face of it, a rating of 65 seems more than fair. Buccaneers Vault bolted up on debut at Beverley and takes a drop in class tonight having raced against some smart types in a Conditions race at Pontefract. Popeswood has chased home Baitha Alga and Beacon in maiden company so the market is closely watched, while Franny Norton has been booked for the mount on Arabian Bride. The Hamilton scorer would have a major say in this contest if she can tack across from her wide draw. Special Venture may have taken time to come to hand but she appeared to relish the fast ground at Beverley when breaking her maiden tag.
