Verdict
A Childs Dream will be expected to improve on her debut effort at Warwick and should be bang there at the finish if doing so. But COSTA FILEY caught the eye making up late ground to finish fifth in a maiden at Ascot and Ed Vaughan's colt gets the vote to open his account with that experience under his belt. Flying Bear is the first foal of a winner over 5f and he's preferred to fellow newcomers Jalebi and Hostile Takeover.
