Peter Atkinson won this last year with the useful Irish Roe but Mini Dreams has a way to go if she is to emulate her stablemate. Grania O'Malley has been placed in six of her 11 starts under Rules, including twice over hurdles, but she’s fully exposed. LADY MALEFICENT never threatened the odds-on Peggie’s Venture at Worcester but will have learned from the experience and a first victory is on the cards here. Lady Ingleby showed little at Warwick earlier this month.
