Verdict
A very ordinary heat in which Mollyow must have every chance of adding to Yarmouth gains, despite a penalty. Spinning Waters was third at Chepstow 11 days ago but has a bit to find with Lucky Diva on that run, while Eastern Magic would have claims on his best form as would Josie's Dream. DREAM CATCHER beat Lucky Diva on the Polytrack in December and has been placed twice on that surface since. He didn't handle the Fibresand at Southwell last month and could easily bounce back here as he's already shown fair form on Turf.
