      Verdict

      Dr Dream is difficult to oppose in this seller with Tina's Ridge and Espejo rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fifth in a better race behind Look So last time. He need only reproduce that effort to win this with plenty in hand and as the ground should not be a problem he looks a rock solid bet. Tina's Ridge is worth considering on her best form, especially as she should be suited by the drop in trip. However, her best efforts have come on a fast surface and she looks worth taking on today. Espejo is another that could go well as he is also dropping in class and he hails from a shrewd yard. Homecroft Boy has had plenty of chances and is readily opposed, and a more solid alternative looks to be Dr Dream who can get his head in front.
