Verdict
Century Dream followed up at Ayr after beating Mustarrid at Doncaster last month. But the latter is now 11lb better off and connections will fancy their chances of turning the tables on Ryan Moore’s mount. Pealer’s only failure so far came in the Epsom Derby, which was too far. He’s won since at Epsom and is a danger to all while D'bai, who ran in the French Derby, sports headgear in his first run in a handicap. Alwahsh also makes his handicap debut but has been raised 11lb since easily landing a Nottingham maiden. FIRE BRIGADE didn’t run up to form at Yarmouth last month but the easier surface here will be more to his liking and he should give Hayley Turner a good ride at decent odds. Cullingworth could also be interesting off joint bottom weight.
