West Lawn and Your Place finished 1-2 at Hexham in March with the winner weighted to confirm the form. Goast Dancer has been quite lightly raced but Release The Kraken has stronger form having just come up short over this trip at Ayr when Your Place was a distant third. GUSTAV’S DREAM wasn’t stopping over an extended 2m5f at Ayr and Nick Alexander’s mare should benefit from a further step up in trip here.
