In depth
Verdict
This looks another competitive race in which we will give the nod to Ba Dreamflight with both Graylyn Ruby and Soxy Doxy worth noting. The selection wears first time visors and did show some ability when running a personal best over course and distance last time out. He was three lengths behind the top weight Graylyn Ruby that day and is now one pound better off at the weights. Running off bottom weight he looks a horse that has improvement in him so any market moves should be noted. Soxy Doxy showed promise on the all weather at Wolverhampton in February but was a little disappointing at Kempton after a break last time out and will have to raise his game to score today. So for the winner we return to Ba Dreamflight.
