Bayshore Freeway has every chance on these terms but drops back down in trip after scoring over 1m6f at Chelmsford. Dance Legend has come up short in Listed company on more than one occasion but Hameem is worth a try in this higher grade having continued her good progress with a comeback victory at Newmarket. Spirit Of Appin won nicely at Goodwood last time and is another upped in class along with Haydock winner Hulcote while CRYSTAL MOONLIGHT could only manage fifth in a Listed contest at Goodwood on her first start since October. But she should be sharper today and the fact connections persevere at this level despite the unfavourable terms suggests there’s plenty more to come from Sir Michael Stoute’s filly.
