Verdict

A fiendishly competitive handicap to finish with the narrow vote in favour of DREAMLOPER. Just touched off by re-opposing Lights On over 1m here last month, she was still a shade keener than ideal and with this bigger field scenario a likely plus, she is fancied to come out on top. The latter named is upwardly mobile also and feared, along with So I Told You, Caspian Queen and Dalanijujo.
