        Verdict

        This is a tricky race for punters to call with Barathea Dreams given a tentative vote ahead of Rondelet, Play Master and Breathing Sun. The selection showed a game attitude at Sandown last time to defeat Appalachian Trail and to gain his first win on the turf. He had previously impressed on the polytrack and he looks the percentage call in an open race. Rondelet and Play Master were only separated by three-quarters-of-a length at Windsor last time with the latter coming out on top. There is unlikely to be much between them again here and both are still open to plenty of improvement. Breathing Sun was well beaten last time but he had previously won well at Doncaster and if his latest effort can be forgiven then he could go close. Daring Affair has been in good form of late and is the other that might be worth looking at as an each-way bet, but for the winner we return to Barathea Dreams.
