Verdict
Lord Of Dreams is a confident choice in this weak event, Drizzi and Terminate look to be the best alternatives. Gary Moore's charge is head and shoulders above his rivals on official ratings and hasn't been running too badly of late. His close up fourth behind Birkside last week stands out as decent form in the context of this race and he will prove hard to beat this afternoon. Drizzi does at least boast winning form, although it was in Italy. It is impossible to assess that value of the form but he may be best watched on his first run in Brittain. Terminate has shown a glimmer of ability and is from a very shrewd yard so watch the market. However Lord Of Dreams has the form in the bag and does appear to be the safest option.
