Plenty of pretentions ahead of possible overseas engagements and DREAM EATER can take advantage of this drop in grade tonight. Andrew Balding's charge has proved very difficult to win with in the past and while this is only his second ever appearance on an artificial surface, if class is a guide, his fifth to Canford Cliffs, literally makes all other form insignificant. There wouldn't be a lot between the Godolphin contingent on paper. Invisible Man, who won the Royal Hunt Cup, was behind Dream Eater when they met in a Turkish Group 2, whereas Global City has been aimed at six furlong contests in the past. Beauchamp Viceroy represents a yard that have done well in the past in events of this nature whilst Atlantic Story was a good horse on his day though might just be getting a little long in the tooth at this level.
