If You Can Dream²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

28/1

Speedily bred, but hasn't show much in a couple of starts so far, still looking a bit rough around the edges when fifth at this C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago. More needed.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

Has shown little on both her starts so far, too free switched to all-weather over 2f longer trip at Kempton last month. Best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Banshee (9/4), Majestic Glory (7/2), Helene (9/2), Intelligentsia (5/1), Breeze Easy (13/2), Loquace (22/1), Nikki's Girl (25/1), El Darooj (25/1), If You Can Dream (28/1), Indian Guru (66/1), Albus Anne (200/1), Colour My Dream (250/1)

Some well-bred newcomers on show here but preference is for BANSHEE, who exceeded market expectations when third on debut at Goodwood 5 weeks ago, and with improvement a distinct possibility, can provide trainer Brian O'Rourke with a first winner. Once-raced Helene and Majestic Glory look the main dangers of those with racecourse experience, ahead of newcomers Breeze Easy and Intelligentsia.
