In depth
Verdict
Wychbury gets the confident vote here with Beauty of Dreams and Mon Plaisir rating the main dangers. The selection won an amateur riders race in good style last time out when beating Kindlelight Debut and although he has a penalty for that win he clearly goes well for an inexperienced rider and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Beauty of Dreams rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Miss Pebbles. That form has since been franked but she has never won off a mark this high before and for that reason is opposed. Mon Plaisir is another with place claims on his best form but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for that reason he looks opposable. Of the remainder Loaded Gun has dropped to a handy mark and is from a yard in form so could go well at a price but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to Wychbury .
