ADDICTIVE DREAM is ideally suited by the race conditions. He showed brilliant speed to score twice at Meydan in January and didn't enjoy the soft ground in a Group 3 at Chester last time. Shirley Teasdale's claim is another bonus and he should have no problems reversing Chester form with Shoshoni Wind as he will be much better suited by tonight's quick going. Doc Hay is another who will probably find the ground a bit lively while Cheviot's only success on Turf came on soft going at Naas. Astrophysical Jet is very useful on his day and though he hasn't won for a long time he will at least enjoy the conditions while Gorgeous Goblin has only won on the all-weather.
