King Of France is the probable leader in the small field. I NEVER DREAMED (3) was back to her best when narrowly beaten here and then settled further back over a mile and failed to threaten. Hard to catch but is suited in this line-up. She just missed the last time she tackled this trip. ARGYLE STAR (5) picked up impressively winning over a middle distance at Northam. Has to come back in trip, but expect her to be good enough to manage. Three back she was only beaten 1.3L at Belmont over a mile. Winning rider Chris Parnham is reunited and that's a decent push for her chances. SABINO (9) has to step up from a sprint but he runs along and does have a placing over this distance. The well-bred galloper may be hard to peg back. KING OF FRANCE (2) steps up in trip off a nice win over 1400m. Looks back on track and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with I Never Dreamed.
