      Verdict

      Field Of Dream won the Royal Hunt Cup last season but has hardly beaten a horse home in three subsequent starts though all have been in major handicaps. He's best watched until showing signs of a revival and HAWKESBURY looks the one to be on. The Godolphin grey has done well to win three races as he's often looked less than genuine and all of his victories have been in small fields but he has the edge on official ratings and gets the vote. Russian Realm has been competing in high level handicaps and would have a definite chance at his best though he hasn't won since May of last year. Miracle of Medinah won at Listed and Group 3 level in 2013 but has never replicated that sort of form.
