Regal Dream could provide the answer here, with his biggest dangers reckoned to be Casemate, Jennverse and Ronsard. This is an interesting affair, with Regal Dream, for us, having already shown solid form on Lingfield's Polytrack and on Turf. Only lightly-raced, the step up in trip today should suit and we reckon he has every right to run well. Casemate and Jennverse are closely weighted based on Lingfield runs on good to soft in May. They are both lightly-raced and open to improvement, and the latter is edging back towards a winning mark. Also, Ronsard showed a bit more sparkle last time and, with his spring maiden form looking reasonable, could yet be fairly weighted. Turning to the others and Sharaby makes her Wolves debut following a disappointing handicap debut last time, Crown Of Medina has not built on her Lingfield win but a step up in trip might help today, a similar comment applying to Moon Bird, but Nova Tor now has a bit to prove, even though she is trying seven furlongs for the first time. Overall, though, we are happy to side with Regal Dream.
