Ice Dream has been getting closer and was only beaten a head over 6f here last time but he maybe a couple of pounds too high. Mixology looks a likely sort on his handicap debut and is eased in grade, though Franny Norton will be carrying plenty of lead in the saddle. HAIRDRYER possibly found a mile too far on soft ground at Goodwood last time but had run well at the Sussex track and Salisbury over this trip earlier. Tom Marquand's claim will help here and he could be the one to beat with Arlecchino's Rock looking exposed and Mr Potter 2lb higher than when second at Redcar last month.
