      Verdict

      DREAM RULER was beaten only a length at Windsor last time and may prove best in this racing off the same mark. Callendula was well beaten in better company at Goodwood but landed a Class 6 event at Brighton before that while Valantino Oyster won a claimer at Redcar in July and this is not much tougher. Distant High scored in heavy ground at Chepstow in August and it was testing going when Zenafire finished second at Haydock last time.
