Verdict
Shena's Dream has won two of her three starts and was sent off favourite for the other. Willie Haggas' filly has been raised 6lb for her latest success though still looks to be on an upward curve. But her only defeat came over this longer trip and she's never raced on a soft surface before so we'll take her on with FEELTHEDIFFERENCE. Hampered when an improved third at Ascot last month, the Iceman filly can finally open her account for the season here. Fulney usually finds at least one too good while Silke Top is making her seasonal reappearance and both Waveguide and Confluence need to improve a little on what they've shown so far.
