Verdict

Crystal Casque scored over track and trip before finishing runner-up back here though Golden Mayflower has the beating of her on collateral form. Gorak has been in the mix over 7f recently and Change Of Fortune has changed trainers having placed here in October. LION’S DREAM was having his first start for a new yard when going close at Newcastle on his handicap debut and will prove popular with star apprentice Billy Loughnane doing the steering.
