Dream Of Fortune gets the vote to land this wide open contest for the Newmarket yard of Mick Quinlan. Despite a tardy start last time out, the selection slowly worked his way into contention before being run out of it on the stiff up hill climb on the Rowley Mile by some fast finishing rivals. Previously a winner over 10 furlongs at Great Leighs, a stall 8 draw gives his rider plenty of options. Grand Vizier appears a very well handicapped sort of 72, 5lb lower that the mark off which he achieved his penultimate victory on the all-weather. Handicap debutant Dear Maurice is another that warrents respect but might just want a couple of furlongs further to be seen at his best. Aggravation bids to win this race for the third year in succession but appears plenty high enough in the weights judged on his recent efforts. Sotik Star is an outsider who could possibly go well at bigger prices but Dream Of Fortune is the selection.
