Verdict

Dream Tale is a thoroughly reliable conveyance in competitive large-field handicaps and should give his usual solid account from a plum draw. He's retained form well throughout a busy campaign and is shortlisted. His latest run also brings Fil The Power into the equation as the latter was under a length behind him recently and is now a couple of pounds better off. He lacks the consistency of the Oliver inmate but is interesting all the same. Snag It and Celtic Crown are models of consistency in such races and should be involved but both have to overcome very wide draws and a chance is taken with HIGH ALTITUDE, back to form here on Monday when forced to race wide and sure to appreciate his better draw as well as the extra furlong.
