Dragon Dream has been going well at Kempton but makes his Tapeta debut. Though she should again finish ahead of Masquerade Bling, Roger Ingram's filly is closely matched with GOLDEN EYE on collateral form and the top weight has experience of this surface and is less exposed. Metronomic hinted at ability on Turf and could play a part if taking the all-weather while Echoism is less exposed than most. The others appear to have a bit to find.
