Many Dreams was only headed close home when second over this trip at Ffos Las last month. Recent winners Encore Moi and Simply Me both go on the short-list as well but it's difficult to evaluate what Plus Night achieved in three runs in Germany in the spring. MOCKINBIRD has already run well at Chelmsford and Newcastle and was beaten less than a length off this mark at Brighton earlier this month - Sir Mark Prescott's filly can finally open her account this afternoon. Wolverhampton third Caledonia Duchess is probably the pick of the remainder.
