Verdict

Watersmeet is well treated on past form but isn’t getting any younger. Ottonian will need a strong pace over this trip but blinkers could help sharpen him up. DREAMWEAVER was only beaten a neck at Salisbury in the spring when last competing in this grade. He is 4lb lower now and a return to winning ways is overdue. Arctic Fox is very consistent while Socially Shady ran his best for a while when only beaten a head at Thirsk and makes more appeal than Jackamundo.
