Verdict
The last time Reversionary dropped into this grade he was successful, and he looks the one to be on here, with Haunt The Zoo and Dubai Dreams chosen to chase him home. Mick Easterby's gelding beat Dasar in that contest back in November and has since taken on better opposition in handicaps. He is not the most gutsy of performers but can be urged over the line by Dale Gibson today. Dubai Dreams, a course and distance winner back in early December, continues to run well and has since finished a close up third behind Plausabelle at Wolverhampton, he should be in the place money at least. Meanwhile Haunt The Zoo comes into the argument having finished an excellent third behind Air Mail over course and distance. Eight Ellington gained an overdue victory last time but could struggle at today's weights, however he does look best of the remainder. So not the strongest of contests and Reversionary should be capable of landing first prize
