      Verdict

      We Have A Dream made all the running and held on to score by the narrowest of margins when successful at Leicester last month but a 3lb rise for that is perfectly fair and Willie Muir's gelding is taken to follow up here, getting the verdict over Baunagain and Alsadeek. The last mentioned is less exposed than most of these after just four outings and may be of interest on his handicap debut but John Dunlop's colt does not look to be particularly well treated so he may be best watched. Perfect Flight has not progressed since landing a Haydock nursery and has been well held in both starts this term so he may need some help from the handicapper. A market move for Tyfos would be of interest having run creditably at Haydock last time but more solid claims are held by Mark Wallace's Baunagain, who has shown a consistent level of form. We Have A Dream showed good speed when winning at Leicester though and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice here even off his new mark.
