There are plenty in with chances in this claimer and a narrow vote goes to Dream Magic over Rolex Free, Coolfore Jade and Confuzed, with Barton Sands not out of things either. Dream Magic gained his first victory in two years when scoring over a furlong further here the time before last. Rolex Free was behind that day and also when the selection stayed on for third over a mile and a half at Southwell recently. The return to this surface will help, and although he has hardly been consistent in the past, he is in enough form to warrant respect again at this level. Rolex Free has since scored over the track and trip but should be held on form, while Coolfore Jade has been confined to shorter trips in banded company and looks held. Confuzed bolted up here last time, showing a good turn of foot from off the pace, but has a longer journey to cope with, as does Barton Sands, but at least he too has a recent win under his belt. Dream Magic is a tentative selection.
