Verdict

CALCUTTA DREAM has only won on the all-weather so far but finished runner-up at Yarmouth despite an early stumble and may well go one better in this. Ribkana placed at Beverley still looking for a first win while Quoteline Direct has been thereabouts lately though has only won once since 2018 and that was on the all-weather. We Still Believe returns to the Flat with a chance on his earlier placed efforts.
