CINDERELLA’S DREAM is fancied to avenge her Royal Ascot defeat at the hands of Crimson Advocate to lift the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket today.
A length and three-quarters separated the pair in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes 23 days ago, but my selection had a 3lb penalty to shoulder thanks to a win in the Belmont Oaks in New York last summer.
The Charlie Appleby-saddled daughter of Shamardal has done most of her recent running over further, so the uphill climb to the line at the end of this straight mile will serve William Buick’s mount well.

The bet365 Trophy (3.00) presents punters with a puzzle but a good run looks in store from DANCING IN PARIS after a near-miss in the Northumberland Plate last time out.
The opening bet365 Handicap (1.50) rates a good opportunity for URBAN GLIMPSE to make it third time lucky for the year after second placings at Sandown Park and York.
She was impressive in landing Ascot’s Albany Stakes on her second career outing and a nudge up from Group 3 to Group 2 level shouldn’t stop Carlisle debut scorer VENETIAN SUN from making it 3-3 in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes.
At York, SAYIDAH DARIYAN is poised to show to the fore in the Group 3 William Hill Summer Stakes (2.45), while top weight STREETS OF GOLD looks good in the William Hill Extra Place Races Daily Handicap (2.10).
