Verdict
Ishbelle and Tuscania have no easy task on their reappearance, while both Hezmah and Mystic Dream have failed to improve on their promising early form. Another lightly-raced filly in the shape of INSTANCE seems more progressive and she gets the nod. A dual winner on Polytrack, Jeremy Noseda's charge gave the impression today's extra furlong would see her in a better light when third to Swiss Dream on the Rowley track here in May and she's preferred to Chokurei. The latter arrives on the back of handicap wins at Kempton and Leicester and may not have finished improving yet. Psychic's Dream also scored at Leicester last time but over a shorter trip, while Sweetie Time found only Khor Sheed too good in a Listed race at Warwick recently and she's another to consider.
