Scala Regia had a couple of outings at Lingfield last month and didn't gets the best of runs last time so looks capable of better. Lady Cristal looked a likely future winner when a close second here in the summer but hasn't progressed and has been well beaten in three nurseries on this surface. Andrew Balding has been amongst the winners lately and DEEP DREAM, a 170,000gns half-sister to several winners including Group 1 winner Havana Gold, may be good enough though an absence of a year since her debut is an obvious concern. Angelou is a half-sister to five winners, most of them sprinters, but Appreciating should do better over further.
Deep Dream 5-2 (8-11) Slowly away in rear, slightly hampered over 2f out, late headway, nearest finish, 4th of 8, 5 1/4l behind Highest Quality (10-0) at Kempton 7f mdn fll stks (5) pol in Feb.
Angelou Poet's Voice filly out of Quiz Show.
