Verdict
Triple Dream looks comfortably the best of Milton Bradley's pair and finished ahead of stablemate Cape Royal at Windsor last week. Bertie Southstreet was in very good form at this time last year and took this from a 1lb higher mark. There were signs of a revival here last time and he is on the short-list though just in front of him that day was STRABOE and he gets the vote. Stuart Williams' charge has gained his last five victories at Wolverhampton, the latest in March from a mark 8lb higher than here. He looked back to form last time and his trainer looks to have found a good opportunity for him. Desert Strike has won seven times in his career - all on Polytrack - but there's no doubt he's very well handicapped on turf despite being raised 4lb for his defeat in a better race at Newmarket last time and looks the main threat.
