Verdict
DAYTIME DREAMER doesn't have the best of strike-rates but ran well at Downpatrick last time. At least he has several victories on the board unlike most of these rivals and can gain his sixth success on his 89th start. Drumlosh Sallie showed her first sign of ability here last month and is making her handicap debut while Coosan Belle is 5lb lower than her last winning mark though that was back in 2011. Lortzing showed a bit more promise at Down Royal last time and Keith Donoghue rode the winner a year ago while Lord Baltimore showed some potential at Down Royal and in a poor race has to be kept on the right side.
