Verdict

Rhagori Aur has found life tough since winning her maiden at Thirsk in May but she didn't run badly when fourth at Beverley last month and is a couple of pounds lower here. CHASING DREAMS has more scope for improvement, however, and had no trouble justifying the odds at Catterick last month. Her debut run at Sandown has worked out well and, though the handicapper has done her no favours here, she could be the one to beat. La Sylphe is consistent and was only beaten half-a-length at Newcastle last time while Bispham Green is knocking on the door but the latter's stablemate Done Dreaming's defeat of Lady Calantha here last time came in a seller and Scentpastparadise may find this too sharp.
