Dream of Honour^b1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75

2/11

Remains a maiden after 11 starts and while his three runs this season haven't quite been up to last year's form, he remains consistent and goes on any ground. Has the pace to cope with the drop in trip and sets a clear standard.

Form: 427-534

(4)

Ganton Eagle²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Josh Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 43

22/1

Poet's Voice gelding has been very long odds and well beaten in all four starts so far and the sharp drop in trip doesn't appeal. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 900-8

(2)

Hawk In The Sky¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: R M Whitaker

4/1

Has shown pace in both his 6f starts to date while showing also showing significant improvement. Outside Dream Of Honour he has the best form on offer and is likely to progress again.

Form: 85

(1)

Dilly Dilly³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright

10/1

Didn't stay 7f at Redcar on debut but neither did she see out her race when well beaten over this distance at Doncaster. Remains hard to fancy.

Form: 96

(3)

Little Thornton¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay

50/1

Daughter of Swiss Spirit has been sent off 50/1 on her debut last year and 100/1 on last month's reappearance. Yet to beat a rival home and remains easy to dismiss.

Form: 6-9

Forecasts

Dream of Honour (2/11), Hawk In The Sky (4/1), Dilly Dilly (10/1), Ganton Eagle (22/1), Little Thornton (50/1)

DREAM OF HONOUR simply will not get an easier chance to lose his maiden tag and the fact that he's racing to a reliable level should make him very hard to beat. Hawk In The Sky raced on his second start as though he's going to continue to progress and rates the clear second pick. Of the other three, none appeal but Dilly Dilly is taken to chase them home.
