    Verdict

    Hobbs Hill, Ken's Dream and Classic Role are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Ken's Dream. The selection ran well after a long absence to be second on his first start this season. Granted he has since disappointed but he has been given plenty of time to recover from those exertions and with everything in his favour here he is taken to score.Hobbs Hill rates the main danger on his latest second behind Geeveem but he is dropping six furlongs in trip here and he may not have the pace for this trip and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Classic Role drops back to his normal grad having been outclassed behind Straw Bear last time out and could run well at a price. Of the remainder Tamreen could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers but will need to do so and with this in mind for the winner we return to Ken's Dream
