Verdict

Dawn Wind looks like a potential improver so a chance is taken with her although that comment could be applied to a few in this field and the market should prove informative. The two penalised runners must be respected but both won over a mile at Southwell so have a little to prove stepping up to this trip on a different surface. Jemima's Art was sent off at big prices on all three starts in turf maidens but she's related to plenty of middle distance winners and could come into her own this season. Anabaa's Secret, Arabesque Dancer and Paul The Carpet are a little more exposed but may also improve for this longer trip but Dara Diva and Dawn Wind are of more interest. The William Haggas team is in fine form at present and market support for his Barathea filly would look significant. The selection has an absence to overcome but Ian Wood is another trainer who has been amongst the winners of late and Neil Callan is always a positive booking for the yard. She ran her best race to date in a nursery last time and this longer trip should bring about sufficient improvement to enable Dawn Wind to get her head in front.
