Verdict
Absolute Dream arrives in good form and is raised 4lb for winning at Doncaster while Devilwala finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when runner-up at Ayr. Keeper's Choice was beaten only a head over track and trip in July while Madrinho placed here in the same month. But METABOLT is on the upgrade judged on a convincing four-length success at Carlisle and looks worth sticking with now handicapping for the first time.
