Verdict

Several to consider in this competitive handicap. ABSOLUTE DREAM's recent form figures do not inspire confidence but he has edged back down to an appealing mark and, having shaped as though still a little rusty on his second appearance of the present campaign at Wetherby, he may well be closer to concert pitch here. Menelaus went agonisingly close to opening his account over C&D last time and looks set for another bold show, while Zumurud is also strongly respected.
