Freya's Dream is clearly on the upgrade after comfortable victories at Doncaster and Beverley. Tim Easterby's lightly raced performer has further improvement to come and should give another good account despite a further 6lb hike in the weights. Golden Spectrum has had his excuses since landing a Salisbury maiden and both trip and ground conditions should be ideal while Constitute failed to handle Goodwood when last seen and could be a different proposition here but Sholay may find this on the sharp side despite the aid of a first-time visor.
