Whimsical Dream won over course and distance last time and is only 3lb higher. She’s preferred to Shifting Gold, who scored over a mile at Nottingham recently but has something to prove judged on an earlier attempt over today’s longer trip. ESTRELA STAR (NAP) was having his first outing of the year when placed at Salisbury on his handicap debut. He never looked like catching Hydroplane but the latter has subsequently landed a hat-trick and Ali Stronge’s charge may prove good enough on that form. Molotov finished a long way behind the selection but Cafe Sydney may do better on only his second start for new connections.
