Verdict

A competitive affair to finish off the card, and one where DREAMCATCHING appeals most. The Paul Nicholls inmate looked outclassed in the Fred Winter at the Festival here in March, but has impressed winning two starts since and has what it takes to return to handicapping now in open company. He gets on well with the jockey, and the trip should suit him well. Others for the shortlist include Percy Street, who progressed last season and can do again, and the quirky Lion In His Heart, provided he comes here on one of his going days.
  1. Dreamcatching
  2. Percy Street
  3. Lion In His Heart
