Verdict
Top weight Daydream Dancer looks to have all the qualities to land this handicap with Kernel Dowery and Molly's Secret both worthy of mention. The selection has been knocking on the door in similar races this season and deserves to get his head in front soon. He won back to back races at Brighton during the back end of last summer and now runs off a mark that he is more than capable of winning off. With a good performance under his belt at Leicester and Warwick on his last two starts that prove he is in form he can get back to winning ways here. Kernel Dowery will pose the biggest danger to the selection with some good placed efforts this season. He ran well to finish third around Warwick last time out not beaten far and can run well again. Molly's Secret is more of an all weather horse and most of his best form is produced around Wolverhamton but if translating some of that to the turf is one to note, but for the winner we return to Daydream Dancer.
