Verdict

Another big field for the Dawn Run but it is very hard to get away from the claims of LUCCIA, who maintained her unbeaten record in effortless fashion at Exeter last month, is open to bundles more improvement after just 4 career starts, and has all the attributes to cope with a more demanding test at the Festival. Magical Zoe's Down Royal win back in November has worked out well and she's another exciting prospect, with Halka du Tabert, Lot of Joy and Under Control a trio of others to consider.

  1. LUCCIA
  2. MAGICAL ZOE (IRE)
  3. HALKA DU TABERT (FR)
