Verdict
In Dream¿s can land this novice event at the expense of Panzer, Double Gin and Bestofthebrownies. The selection is only a four year old and the penny finally dropped last time out when finishing an eye catching second to Nobodys Perfect at Sedgefield. That form looks good enough to win this and with improvement likely then it¿s a horse to stay on the right side of. Panzer has some sound form to his name. He finished a good second at Catterick in a similar contest back in January and was not disgraced when highly tried at Newbury last time out. Having said that he will have to be at his best and others are preferred. Double Gin is injury prone and comes back after a long absence but has some form to his name and the same can be said for Bestofthebrownies who is well connected. But for the winner we return to In Dream¿s.
