VISION OF HOPE has shown a big improvement for the step up to today’s trip and followed a Southwell success with a victory over course and distance. A 3lb rise may not be enough to halt her progress and the hat-trick beckons for George Boughey’s filly. Pablo Prince placed behind the selection last time while Engrave went close over a shorter trip at Chelmsford. Torbellino hasn’t won on the all-weather for some time but is preferred to Sisterandbrother and Ummsuquaim of the rest.
