        Verdict

        Politics will be fancied to go one better than when slowly away at Pontefract but PURE DREAMER showed good speed over 6f at Newbury behind the well-regarded Royal Scimitar and may be better suited by this stiff 5f at this stage of his career. Clive Cox’ juveniles have been improving for the run so the Invincible Spirit colt First Edition may be best watched and all of the others would require significant improvement.
