Hard to make a strong case for any of these as though the inconsistent Jericho won his maiden at Wolverhampton last time he has yet to put two good runs together, while Crowning Star and Stag Hill have both been placed without looking like winning of late. Irish import Hugenot makes little appeal on his debut for a new trainer so the tentative selection is HILL OF DREAMS. She followed up a Kempton maiden win with a good effort behind Clodhopper at the same track on Wednesday and may be open to further progress.
