      In depth

      Verdict

      Rileys Dream has won both her starts so far despite looking green She can only improve and her course experience is a bonus here. Katina is also unbeaten and she did nothing wrong at Redcar on her debut, although that was on faster ground than she will encounter here. Waraqa was another who won last time, but her improved effort may be down to the change in distance and this step back to six furlongs is not sure to suit. Smart Hostess has shaped quite well in all three starts and is suited by the conditions of this race, so is another to consider, but Rileys Dream gets the vote.
