Dorback should finish closer dropped in class today but Haajes arrives in better form having finished fourth in a handicap at Ripon a fortnight ago. However, both have something to find with CHLOE'S DREAM on today's terms. The latter will have come on for her reappearance on the Polytrack and won a similar contest to this at Beverley in September. The remainder are of limited ability to say the least with Captain Royale perhaps the best of them on his second over 6f here in November.
