The handicapper seems to have been kind to FESTIVAL DREAMS after he's dropped 5lb for his close up third at Worcester. That takes him to a mark of 90 off which he was only just held in March and with conditions no concern he looks the call. Dunkelly Castle is still open to improvement and although he has placed off this rating on the last three runs he has might need a reprieve from the assessor. Rare Society looks well treated on the pick of his chase form and he should be cherry ripe after a couple of runs following a long break but Festival Dreams looks better weighted.
