Verdict

This looks a match between Dream Champion and Ollie George and the vote is given to Dream Champion. The selection was a good second behind Direct Debit on his first run of the season when a well-backed favourite. He was only beaten a short-head that day and with the benefit of that run under his belt he will be hard to beat. Ollie George rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Spy Glass when last seen. However, that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance has to be a concern as is the 239-day absence from the track. Croft would have chances on his best form but he is far from consistent and has had plenty of opportunities. Pab Special is from a yard in form but looks to have a little to find and we will stick with the unexposed Dream Champion as our idea of the winner.
