Verdict
Tomorrow's Dream won at Chepstow on her reappearance but is upped in distance and class off an 8lb higher mark so it could pay to stick with the unbeaten TONYX. The latter won both outings over 1m2f last year and, having led for most of the way at Newcastle last time, this shorter trip may not prove too much of an inconvenience. Huboor remains 12lb higher than when successful at Newmarket and Graceful Magic won a handicap at Doncaster last year off a 15lb lower mark, though has placed in a Group 3 over 6f subsequently. Able Grace is preferred to Festive Star of the remainder.
