Wescourt Dream will have conditions to suit and can beat the likes of Farnborough, Eijaaz, and Sir Night. Wescourt Dream has been placed second on two of her only three starts this year, at Musselburgh and Nottingham, her blip in between at Beverley no doubt due to the fact that she was too keen in first-time blinkers. Mick Easterby's filly performed much better last time with the aids off, and with the fast ground to suit, she is taken to go one better. Farnborough is sure to be there or thereabouts as he is a most consistent sort. The Richard Price-trained four-year-old has not been out of the first three in his last seven outings on the all-weather, but may just be taken off his feet on this return to Turf. The same comment applies to Eijaaz, but he is another that might just make a play for the frame at least. Sir Night felt the benefit of a soft palate operation when landing a weak event at Beverley in May but has not threatened to repeat the feat in three subsequent runs. However, in this company he too would have claims of a sort, but our preference is for Wescourt Dream, especially if the market speaks in his favour.
