Verdict

EXCELLENT SOUNDS ran well again at Kempton last time having been raised 7lb for winning at Lingfield earlier and should go close. Course winner Sunset Dream fared less well at Newbury a week ago but drops down a grade while Inaam ran well at Newcastle off today’s mark despite finishing only fourth. Ravenhoe scored over a mile at Beverley last month but was well beaten back on the all-weather on his latest start.
