Verdict

Having shaped with definite promise on debut at Newmarket, WILD DAHLIA wasn't seen to anything like best effect when fourth at Chester subsequently. In top hands, she's well worth another chance to resume progress and can prove as much here. Pretty Ambitious and C&D winner Red Tsarina may emerge as the chief threats.
