Verdict

The returning Dreamfield should be feared and time might show that he's far better than a handicapper. Market confidence or not should provide the best clues with regards his prospects of making it three from three, but otherwise this is the kind of contest in which you could place multiple bets and not get near the solution. Quench Dolly ran well enough (seventh) in the Listed Lansdown Stakes at Bath last month, and that form appears to be rock-solid. However, DANIELSFLYER is at his very best during the month of May, resides on a winning mark and was spotted finishing an eye-catching keeping on fourth to Gin In The Inn at Ripon (6f) latest.
