        Verdict

        Forever Dream, Atahuelpa and Goss are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Forever Dream. The selection was a fair second off this mark when last see behind Smart Savannah and if he is fit enough to do him self justice here he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Atahuelpa rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Dominican Monk but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Goss is another worthy of respect he finished in mid-division behind Dawn Invasion in a better race last time, this looks easier and he will not be far away. Travel was a fair second behind ArmAnd A Leg last time but although he traveled well he did not fin as much as was expected and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Genuine Article won well last time when defeating Monksford but he will find this harder under a penalty and for the winner we return to Forever Dream.
