Abbeys Dream

9st 8lb

J: Joshua Bryan

T: Archie Watson

Handy sort who won twice over C&D early last year and added another success at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in September; third of eight behind a thriving rival at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 13 days ago showed that she remains in form and a player from 1lb lower.

9st 8lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

The addition of cheekpieces saw her gain a third career success when digging deep at Wolverhampton (7f) in September; four of her five subsequent runs have been solid enough but she remains 3lb above that successful mark; first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to give her something extra.

Maiden; has run well at about 7f (turf) and 1m (Polytrack) for new yard of late but lacked the pace to challenge over a bare 7f at Chelmsford recently; acts on Tapeta elsewhere and return to 1m should help; first-time hood added to refitted blinkers; thereabouts.
