Verdict

In Dream's has risen eleven pounds for his latest victory but we feel is still one step ahead of the handicapper and is taken to win this at the expense of Clemax and Cloudmor. The selection won his race at Newcastle by fifteen lengths when getting the better of Speedro so is entitled to have risen as much as he has. He has since had a run on the flat at Catterick and even though he was well beaten that day he ought to be sharper for it. Clemax carries six pounds more for his latest win at Ayr when beating Kealshore Lad. Ferdy Murphy has his team of horses in blinding form at present so he is to be noted in the betting market. Cloudmor recorded a hat-trick of wins in the winter winning at Sedgefield on all occassions. The handicapper did take note and although he has climbed in the ratings his last two completed efforts have been eye catching so he is still capable of victory off his current mark. But for the winner we return to In Dream's.
