Verdict

GENTLEMAN'S DREAM has stood very little racing to date but offered something to work on sent chasing after 45 months off when fifth at Hereford and should do better over this longer trip. Hab Sab is bidding for a C&D hat-trick so must be considered, while the selection's stablemate Chain Smoker remains unexposed.
