It could pay to stick with ISLAND HIDEAWAY in the opener. She’s improved with every start and finished well ahead of Agreed when runner-up at Chelmsford last time. The latter is a likely improver and her stablemate Ocean Pearl is related to a host of winners while Peace Treaty’s four winning half-sisters were also trained by Mark Johnston. Beauty Stone and Aqrab are others representing powerful yards but have yet to threaten with the former returning a beaten favourite at Nottingham recently.
