Verdict

Having enjoyed a highly-productive spell on all-weather, DREAM HARDER again ran well when finishing a close-up fourth back on turf at Chester last month, likely to have finished closer still granted a little luck. He's still unexposed at this sort of trip, and this mark doesn't look beyond him on that evidence so he earns the vote. The thriving Kihavah may emerge as the chief threat, with Yorkshire Lady and Bollin Margaret others to consider. Shake A Leg also makes each-way appeal.

  1. DREAM HARDER (IRE)
  2. KIHAVAH
  3. YORKSHIRE LADY
