    Race Analysis

    In-form filly DREAM ILLUSION (10) followed up a narrow Newcastle (1m) success with a smooth win tackling the same trip here nine days ago. The Michael Herrington trained four-year-old remains feasibly handicapped under the 5lb penalty and can land a hat-trick from stall two. James Owen trains NO KNEE NEVER (9) who makes the shortlist following a good second over course and distance in this grade. CHOLA EMPIRE (1) saddles top weight however warrants respect following back-to-back third-place finishes attempting the journey here. Narrow recent course and distance winner MY MATE MIKE (5) also needs to be included.
