Hill Of Dreams has been raised 9lb for an easy win at Brighton and will find this tougher. FUTURE REFERENCE makes more appeal after finishing runner-up over 7f here last time and the Godolphin charge is taken to get off the mark in this company. Saxon Soldier has claims on his earlier effort at Windsor and the soft ground looked a legitimate excuse for his latest below par effort at Lingfield while better is expected from Bajan Story back on the Polytrack. Be My Rock has a shout on his belated seasonal return and is preferred to the more exposed handicappers.
