Patricia's Hope was disappointing on debut at Yarmouth and has a lot to find whilst Dazzling Valentine is a half-sister to a mile winner in Italy but hasn't figured in six starts to date. Geordie Iris was plum last on her only start at Sandown but has to be respected from the Richard Hannon yard and although the pedigree isn't exactly sparkling, some improvement is likely. FIFTH DIMENSION got the better of Fabiello when they last raced together and despite Tom Dascombe's option winning since then and being in good nick, his best effort came on turf at Haydock and he may prefer that surface. With natural progression likely and plenty of middle distance pedigree to bolster stamina claims, Fifth Dimension gets the call. Janet's Pearl isn't ruled out of calculations if taking to the Polytrack after three runner-up efforts.
