This looks a tight little handicap, despite the lack of numbers. Cape Royal probably isn't the force of old while Desert Strike is much better on Polytrack but Dreamacha comes here off the back of a win at Lingfield, though would probably prefer a faster surface. RESTLESS BAY has never won on turf but had no luck in-running when fourth over 6f here last time and deserves another chance. He is more effective over this trip and is narrowly preferred to Musselburgh second Bosun Breese as both Yurituni and Shawkantango are probably high enough in the weights now.
