Verdict
Do I Dream won over track and trip earlier in the month though TIPPERARY MOON wasn’t beaten far in third. The latter would have gone close with a clear run and can turn the tables on more favourable terms. Ravenglass beat On The River at Thirsk last summer and placed at Newcastle on his reappearance when ahead of Gainsbourg while Global Spirit has raced here twice in the past and won on both occasions. Ventura Rascal has also won again here since landing this in 2021 while Vaccine may prove best of the rest.
