In depth
Verdict
Several with claims including I Am A Dreamer, who completed a York double before struggling in the Coventry at Ascot when finishing just in front of Alfie Solomons. Lihou is another well beaten at Ascot with a chance at this level while Dave Dexter has been keeping good company at Ascot and Newbury and should go well but it could pay to stick with SUNSPRITE. Richard Hughes’ progressive colt followed a win at Bath with another victory in a Class 2 contest at Salisbury and the third has subsequently won. The Last Party won over 6f here in May while Solesmes landed a seller at Goodwood last time.
