Verdict

Journeyman and Dream Function were well backed on their respective debuts and both reached the frame. They are open to improvement and likely to be to the fore again here. But BOWNTOBEBAD was badly hampered entering the straight when third at Wincanton last month and is fancied to go close with a clear run today. Aldiva, Fringe Theatre and Accordingtoeileen are among the newcomers who could be interesting if attracting market support.
