        Verdict

        Duneem Dream is a confident selection in favour of Tapas Lad and Arabesque Dancer. Willie Musson's charge won with something in hand over course-and-distance, and if in the same form, a 5lb rise in the handicap should not stop a repeat. Tapas Lad has not looked the most willing of participants but he finally got his head infront in selling company last week. He could have turned the corner for getting his head infront but he does not strike us as being particularly unexposed. Arabesque Dancer has been tried in claiming company against better horses than this so any market confidence would certainly be of interest. Ski Sunday doesn't look any great shakes on all evidence thus far. Magical Song was quietly backed last time out from a stable that have sent out a couple of winners of late. Nothing would need to improve too much to take this contest but Duneem Dream could be ahead of the handicapper and we seek not to oppose.
