Verdict
DRAGON DREAM scored over course and distance on her handicap debut and is taken to confirm running with Henry Did It and go in again. Katebird has been thereabouts over shorter trips recently while Aventus was well ahead of Brexit and Primrose Place when finishing a lot closer over track and trip last month. Apple Scruffs posted a better effort when runner-up over 6f at Chepstow recently and Fair Selene drops down a grade.
