Jim Goldie’s stable took this race last year and TAFSIR has cogent claims if she can reproduce the form of her recent success at Musselburgh. Ollie Pears has his string in decent nick at the moment so A Day To Dream is respected on a rare away-day from his traditional Yorkshire haunts. Blue Antares is exposed though the visor appeared to glean a little improvement from him at Ripon and connections step him up in trip in an attempt to elicit that first success. Crystal Guard has been popular on Wolverhampton’s Tapeta though is 0-12 in her efforts on the Turf. Paddy's Fancy did prevail over hurdles for her previous handler though we are yet to see the best of her for Phil Kirby.
