      Verdict

      David Loder's juveniles have improved significantly for their initial outing this term so Meilland, runner-up at Thirsk last month, can be expected to leave the form behind but Oasis Dream has the better form credentials and gets the TEAMtalk vote. John Gosden's charge showed the benefit of his debut when second to a subsequent Listed winner at Sandown over 7f and the drop in trip should suit this pacey type. But Of Course did not show the anticipated progress from his debut when a beaten favourite at Yarmouth last time and looks nothing out of the ordinary on that form.
