      Verdict

      Mark Johnston fields two, both of whom have every chance and there's little between them on the formbook. DANCING ON A DREAM is more exposed of the pair but arguably houses the best single piece of form when runner-up to Comedy at Pontefract in a decent contest. That run was the only time she's encountered good to firm ground so we'll take her to finally get off the mark with like conditions forecast. Stable companion Kilbarchan was only beaten a length and a half on her second start at Ayr and is going the right way. The market should help to sort out the newcomers of whom Lieutenant Silver makes most appeal as the Dalgleish juveniles tend to need their first run.
