Verdict
Liamarty Dreams got off the mark upped to this trip at Newcastle but will likely face competition for the lead from Beverley winner Implore, who will need to ensure a strong gallop. Strozzi was beaten under a length at Newmarket on his handicap debut, despite being hampered. He could have done without a 3lb rise but seems sure to give a good account again with Murphy riding for the first time. King's Guard has been gelded since last seen but the progressive HAMAKI is worth another try over this trip having won over the stiff 6f at Pontefract.
