Atlantic Dream has a decent pedigree for a race like this and the yard has been among the winners lately. From Beyond reappeared with a second at Beverley but ROGUE FOX, blinkered today, caught the eye with a fourth at Chelmsford last year and, gelded since, will be more the finished article here. Terwada hasn’t been disgraced in either starts so also goes on the shortlist but Anticipating and Astral Spirit will require improvement.
