Verdict
Dream Harder landed a hat-trick on the Tapeta with last month’s victory at Newcastle while Obsidian Knight finished in front of Marion's Boy when runner-up over a longer trip here. Sweet Fantasy, Tarbaan, Night Bear and Baby Steps are all others to consider in a open contest but it may pay to stick with PARIS LIGHTS. The latter made a winning debut for new connections in novice company over track and trip having been gelded and fitted with a tongue-tie and Ryan Moore does the steering.
