Verdict
ANGEL’S DREAM had little to beat in a bumper at Moulins in the autumn but was impressive and Jamie Moore prefers him to stablemate Love Is Golden, who carries a penalty for a victory here last month though he wasn’t beaten far at Doncaster next time. None of the others make much appeal on what they’ve shown so far.
