The fitting of blinkers has certainly brought out some improvement in FLEETING DREAM, who just failed to catch Showbizzy over this trip at Bath last time. A 4lb higher mark is a bit of a worry but she's still getting 5lb from Guanabara Bay, narrowly beaten at Yarmouth and Goodwood in his last two. Shahaama and Cooperess have already won this summer as has Baz's Boy, though the latter is one of three carrying more than their allotted weight.
