        Verdict

        Worlds His Oyster takes a big drop in class but has an absence since September to overcome. EASTERN DRAGON is now on his sixth trainer but has done remarkably well to win 11 of his 67 career starts, including a handicap at this level here last month. This will be his highest ever mark but his young rider's claim is a plus and he can go in again. Ravenhoe was headed on the line here before a poor run at Chelmsford but stable companion Mariee has been very consistent since winning her first two races last January. King of Dreams beat three rivals at Lingfield just over a year ago and was racing in much better company over longer trips when well beaten on Turf in the summer.
