Verdict

Great Colaci was narrowly beaten over 7f here earlier in the week but has done all his winning over that trip. Sienna Dream may figure back over today’s longer distance and Blazing Dreams could reverse latest running here with third-placed Verdigris if getting a faster pace. But GENERAL JOE (NAP) posted a much better effort at Wolverhampton fitted with blinkers for the first time and David Barron’s charge may prove the one to side with having slid 11lb down the weights since returning to action.
