      Verdict

      Dream Champion gets the narrow vote in this handicap with Teach to Preach and Norman Beckett rated as the main dangers. The selection is a model of consistency and is guaranteed to give a good account of himself here. He was a fair second behind Oh Glory Be at Salisbury last time and a reproduction of that effort here will make him hard to beat. Teach To Preach was disappointing last time but he may be seen to better effect over this longer trip and his yard have a good record with their runners here. Norman Beckett is another that disappointed last time but this is less competitive and he is another that might be seen to better effect over this longer trip. Gamesters Lady looked in need of the run last time at Nottingham so may strip fitter today, but for the winner we are happy to return to Dream Champion.
