Verdict

DREAMSELLER remains a maiden after 11 starts but the best of his form sees him with every chance as he tackles this surface for the first time with first-time cheekpieces applied. Runner-up on two of his last three starts, both achieved in a higher grade, it will be disappointing if he's not involved at the business end. Chakrii has been denied in photo finishes the last twice by Muraaqeb and was also runner-up here previous to those efforts. He seems sure to be thereabouts and Gunnison produced a much-improved effort to score at Thirsk last time which brings him right into contention too. Global Acclamation and Key Choice also merit respect.
