Verdict
Tackling 7f for the first time this season, Absolute Dream got back to winning ways at Catterick. Concierge is starting to look well treated but BRAZEN BOLT has improved again this year and his stable could not be in better form. Flame of Freedom and Marlay Park are both course and distance winners and G'daay has been going well. Profound Alexander bolted up in first-time blinkers at Ffos Las but is taking on much better opposition here. King Of Jungle may be best of the rest.
