Verdict
Lucky's Dream ran well at Salisbury on his first outing since 2021 and debut for a new yard but has proven best on the all-weather so far while Mrembo posted a better effort in a lower grade at Windsor. Both Bobby Kennedy and Trojan Truth disappointed last time on the back of earlier placed efforts and a chance is taken on MAWKEB. The latter remains unexposed on Turf but was winning off a 6lb higher mark on the Polytrack early in the year and an apprentice’s allowance further helps his cause.
