Verdict
Dream Magic ran his best race of the season last time and can land this prize from Du Pre and Brave Dane . Mick Ryan's gelding contested a class C handicap at Goodwood last time and wasn't disgraced going down by just over two lengths to Sky Quest, further improvement can be expected and we expect this one to go very close indeed. Brave Dane ran well off a mark of 74 last time, chasing home Samuel Charles at Brighton and looks set for place money again. A bigger threat to the selection may come from Amanda Perrett's Du Pre, who landed a decent handicap here, before finishing a gallant third to Portmanteau. She looks to have a very handy weight and can give our choice Dream Magic plenty to think about.
