Dawson Creek deserves to get his head in front having found one too good in each of his last two starts and is taken to reverse form with Joy And Pain on their running here earlier in the month on 1lb better terms for a neck, with Film Queen looking the pick of the remainder. The selection had previously lost no caste in defeat behind Safari Sundowner and gets the vote to resume winning ways today. Imperium has a bit to find with Dawson Creek on running last time and looks booked for a place at best, while Grey Gurkha has yet to prove that he is as effective over this trip as over further. Napoletano is another that is held by the selection on recent form and of more interest may be Brendan Powell's lightly raced Film Queen. Dawson Creek has solid claims though and he is preferred.
