In depth
Verdict
CALCUTTA DREAM has now won two of his last three outings. He’s penalised for winning over track and trip last week but has a leading amateur on board and should go close again. Becky Smith was on board when Irv scored at Beverley last summer and the latter is back on the same mark while Engrave has a shout back over today’s shorter trip and the same comment applies to Visitant.
