        Verdict

        In a moderate affair, Dream Tonic should just about prove good enough with Desert Hawk and Aggravation the only ones likely to test him. Dream Tonic's best effort this season was when finishing a close second in a competitive handicap at Leicester and that form would be more than enough to cope with these rivals. Desert Hawk also takes a drop in class, having finish in midfield in a 20 runner handicap at headquarters last time out but has a fair bit to find with the selection on official ratings. That remark also applies to Aggravation, who won a polytrack claimer at Lingfield a couple of runs ago, so for the selection we return to Dream Tonic.
