Bowman and Red Fascinator have plenty to find with the principals on these terms though the latter has the more scope having won a novice race easily over track and trip. The former finished behind Fountain Cross in Listed company earlier and Richard Hannon’s charge has subsequently finished fifth over 7f in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood. But INTERNATIONALDREAM was placed in the Molecomb at Goodwood last month and may have the edge over today’s trip representing last year’s winning yard.
