      Verdict

      There was little separating runner-up Align The Stars and LET’S DREAM when they filled the places over a shorter trip at Hamilton. But the latter failed to get a clear run on that occasion and may well reverse running over this extra distance. Andrew Balding’s yard has good record in this and Torrent looks a likely improver along with Sphinx Of Naxos while the newcomer Dream Ocean is related to a winner over hurdles.
