Verdict
Shaydreambeliever gets the call here ahead of Quince and Maggie's Farm. Shaydreambeliever's form is pretty solid and he gained a deserved win at Ayr last time. Despite having been raised five pounds for that, he can still go well. Quince comes here on a roll, having won her last two. She is four pounds worse off with Maggies Farm for a length and a quarter based on her latest victory but, with the step up in trip likely to suit Jeff Pearce's filly, she might well confirm the form. King Alfie got his head in front at Beverley last time, but it is hard to fully assess him based on that, while Glendening's recent improvement has come in sellers. This returns us to to Shaydreambeliever, who might represent some value against the likely favourite.
