The first foal of high-class mare Izzi Top and purchased by Godolphin for 1.1 million gns, DREAMFIELD made an impressive debut at Nottingham when landing the odds by eight lengths. John Gosden’s colt meets stronger opposition today as he steps up in trip but could be anything. Top Score also represents Godolphin and is rated 94 after placed efforts in Listed company and a handicap. Disqualified from first place on his debut, Sincil Bank made no mistake at Newcastle last time but Parnassian’s unbeaten record came to end with defeat in a valuable sales race at the Curragh last month. Justice Frederick has not made any progress since winning a maiden and looks up against it.
