Verdict

Twosheetstothewind has held his form well and can regain the winning thread this afternoon, Make My Dream and Azygous could be the main dangers. Connor Dore's three-year-old landed a Musselburgh maiden back in May and has gone close in three handicaps since. His official rating has been raised slightly for those good efforts but he is up against mainly out of form rivals and he has to go close. Make My Dream is one exception as he has been a model of consistency and wasn't beaten far last time by Sofinella. A similar effort today would see this one in the shake up. Azygous hasn't been running too badly of late and has strong claims on the pick of early season form. Hythe Bay could be the best of the remainder, but Twosheetstothewind has more scope for improvement than most of these and he gets the nod.
