      Verdict

      Dreamweaver ran well in a higher grade at Newbury a fortnight ago and meets Songkran on more favourable terms than when finishing second to the latter at Haydock back in August. NATTY NIGHT also placed at Newbury last time and, racing off a similar mark as when scoring at Newmarket earlier, Bill Muir’s charge gets another chance in an open contest. Groveman won here early in the year but has struggled subsequently while Olympic Conqueror’s earlier double came at Kempton but Matewan has won over track and trip off today’s mark in the past and Sweet Dime finished runner-up here last month.
