In depth
Verdict
A wide-open contest which presents a difficult task for punters with so many in with chances. The TEAMtalk selection Michaels Dream is in good form at present and should relish this drop back in trip after running a solid race over two furlongs further at Redcar last time. This race presents him with his ideal conditions and he should give a good account of himself. Thunder Canyon is closely matched with the selection on that last run and is an obvious danger while top-weight Garw Valley is lightly-raced and open to improvement and should appreciate this ease in class. Toni Alcala is finding it difficult to find the winner's enclosure at present and is likely to have to settle for minor honours again off his current mark.
