In depth
Verdict
Arena's Dream, Gone Gold and Dolce Dovo catch the eye here with Areana's Dream taken to come out on top and lose his maiden tag at the twelfth attempt. Arena's Dream was only just touched off at Musselburgh last time, and he has yet to finish outside the first five in all his races. He appears genuine and this may be the opportunity he has been looking for. Dolce Dovo has finished second in six of her races, and although she met a useful type in Cosmodrome last time, her near misses suggest she may not have the will to succeed. Jeremy Noseda's Gone Gold was a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last time, and although that was only his second start, he is also opposed despite his yard being in good form. Arena's Dream can take this contest.
