      Verdict

      I Am A Dreamer struggled at the weights after scoring at Ripon in June but has been racing in better company and has gradually come down. Praxeology needed some respite from the handicapper after landing a Class 3 handicap at Chester last September and looked on the way back over this track and trip last time when runner-up to Erich Bloch with Ey Up Its Mick not far behind. LORD OBERON last won two years ago in a Class 2 handicap at Doncaster. He drops into this class for the first time subsequently and the move can pay off. Grace And Virtue is up 7lb for her victory at Musselburgh but had plenty in hand and looks a real threat while Byron's Choice was only beaten a length in a better handicap than this at Ayr last month.
