Verdict
Cayuga finds this distance short enough nowadays while First Dream is now 10lb higher than an earlier win at Chelmsford and also drops back in distance. Nonno Giulio's recent win came in a claimer but Cosmic Ray can race off the same mark as when scoring at Lingfield if an apprentice's claim is taken into account. Wolverhampton winner Hercullian Prince makes more appeal than Tatting but a chance is taken on RUBAN as he won a higher grade handicap at Chelmsford off a similar mark earlier this year and drops in class for this.
