Verdict
Majestic Dream seemed to show improved form in a claimer last time but his stable is in the doldrums at present. Borough Boy is 8lb higher than his latest win while Smokethatthunders was beaten five lengths when runner-up at Chester. Generalyse is one of three previous course and distance winners but is better on faster going. TOP OFFER is up a grade off a 5lb higher mark but is one of the few arriving in decent form and is fancied to follow up his victory at Lingfield.
