Ballie's Dream bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins though meets tougher opposition in this including CAT’S ASTRAY. The latter looks worthy of another chance having finished runner-up over track and trip the last twice with Paula Andrea behind on both occasions and she gets the vote to come out best. Shanghai Mistress won a lower grade claimer over 6f here last time though the runner-up has subsequently won while Hire The Lady has the past form to figure if back to her best.
