DREAM OF FORTUNE is on an attractive mark and gets the verdict here ahead of Lytham and Rosy Dawn. The David Evans-trained pick has enjoyed all five of his career wins on one or other version of the Polytrack, including a course and distance success. The yard is never far from the winners' enclosure, retaining decent form, and now that their six-year-old is 4lbs below his latest winning mark from last December, he makes plenty of appeal. Lytham is another course and distance scorer, although he is clearly at his best at Kempton, where he has won seven times at either this trip or 1m 3f. He has not yet won a handicap from as high as this in the ratings, but there is only 1lb in it and he should go well. Rosy Dawn has won two races over course and distance, though this is tougher than those lower grade contests, while yet another winner at the track, Blue Tango, should be competitive but probably not good enough from a 5lb higher mark. Dream Of Fortune might help to make us one here.
