Placed in pattern company over 5f earlier, INTERNATIONALDREAM returned to winning ways in a conditions race over course and distance last time. He’s preferred to Roman Dynasty, who failed to get involved in the Gimcrack at York, while Queen Of Rio steps up in distance having been beaten a nose in a Listed race on the Knavesmire recently and can figure if lasting home. The remainder have something to prove at this level with The Flying Ginger winning at Chester but Terrichang’s second in a tougher contest at the same track looking stronger form. Albadri and Bahrain Pride won their respective divisions of the same maiden at Windsor but both Nastase and Blowing Wind have a stack to find on these terms.
