Verdict
DREAMSELLER is still improving and was winning for the third time this year when successful over a mile here last time. There may be more to come and he’s preferred to How Bizarre. The latter finished ahead of Merricourt when fourth here last month while Delph Crescent’s earlier success at Ripon came over 1m2f. Aegeus went close when last racing over track and trip in July while Finally Mine makes her handicap debut and may improve.
