Dream Fantasy has solid claims on form but Sir Mark Prescott's runners seem to have gone off the boil of late and he looks worth opposing with preference for Nakheel, who gets the vote ahead of stablemate Doctor Scott. Mark Johnston's juveniles tend to improve with racing and the fact that Nakheel was good enough to score first time out suggests that he is more than useful. Being by Sadler's Wells there is every reason to believe that he will improve for racing on today's slightly softer ground than at Hamilton and could well follow up that success. The Michael Jarvis-trained King's Head opened his account when landing a maiden over course and distance last month and should improve further, while Charlie Cool may appreciate the drop back in class having been well held in the Royal Lodge last time. Startori has won her last two but this looks tougher and of more interest may be Doctor Scott, who made a winning debut at Hamilton before being found out in Listed-company at Salisbury last time. There should be more to come from Mark Johnston's colt but stablemate Nakheel is potentially useful and is preferred.
