Millfields Dreams, Blakeshall Quest and Sir Loin are three against the field in this competitive opener and the vote is given to Millfields Dream. The selection was a fair third behind Witchry last time out, that form has since been franked and off what remains a fair mark and under conditions that suit he looks thew one to be on. Blakeshall Quest rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Safarine but he looks weighted up to his best and is passed over for that reason. Sir Loin is another that could well on his latest run behind Out For A Stroll now that he returns to his favourite surface as that form has since been franked. Dellagio looks well weighted on his best form but he may just need the run after a 205 day absence. Of the remainder Percy Douglas has dropped to a handy mark but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Millfields Dream to small stakes.
