Verdict
Brave Dream returned to winning ways when beating Showboating by a length-and-a-quarter in a Newmarket handicap last Saturday. But there's no guarantee Kevin Ryan's gelding will uphold that form under a penalty and more interesting is LIZZIE. A decent two-year-old, she's obviously been hard to train this season but returned from a lengthy absence to beat older horses over this trip at Thirsk last month and should be capable of further improvement. Lady Paris was third at Newcastle last time and looks best of the rest as Sound Amigo looks too high in the weights now.
