Dream Serenade has only won on the all-weather but went very close over this trip at Yarmouth last time when With Hindsight was just behind having had every chance. Major Rowan is another much better on an artificial surface and is 0-13 on Turf while winning hurdler Hallingham hasn't won on the Flat for almost three years and has had plenty of opportunities. SAINT THOMAS wins his share of races and completed a double last summer over 1m4f. He has no problems staying this trip and wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton on his comeback so gets the nod to gain the 11th victory of his career.
