The form of those with experience is not especially strong and therefore we'll go with the Haggas newcomer, REASSURE, to make a winning debut. The yard continues to go well and the Oasis Dream filly would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start. Fellow newcomers Up To Speed and Hot Affair join the selection in requiring a market check and are preferred in that order. Of those to have run, Poets Dance makes most appeal after coming home nicely after a tardy stalls exit on her Nottingham debut and that performance affords her preference over Richard Hannon's Airbrush and Allez Sophia for the Johnson Houghton operation.
