Nothing went right for My Bobby Dazzler in a race that’s worked out well at Newbury last month and he is better than that. Dreaming Blue will strip fitter for a run at Wincanton but Taste The Fear hasn’t raced since April and has had a wind operation since. Fantastikas was a disappointing favourite at Newton Abbot but STELLAR MAGIC ran better than anticipated at Huntingdon. Making his debut over fences, the dual hurdles winner only weakened approaching the last and has been dropped a pound since. Laskalin won this last year but is still 3lb higher while Hidden Heroics was beaten when falling at Ascot.
