Verdict

A winner in France including on the the all-weather at Deauville, Dream Catcher had little chance in a Group 3 race at Ascot on his first start for Dandy Nicholls last October. He may just need the run here and A LITTLE BIT DUSTY can take advantage. Bill Turner's charge remains in fine fettle and landed a double with an easy win in a seller over C&D last week. He has a bit to find at the weights with Malice Or Mischief and Better Self, but Jake Payne's 7lb claim helps on that score and he gets the vote.
