Verdict
DREAM OF HONOUR made a promising start when beaten less than a length at York. That’s the best piece of form on offer and Tim Easterby’s colt is fancied to confirm running with the disappointing Baldwin. The latter ran much better on his earlier debut while Sosume finished in front of Four Wheel Drive when fourth at Ripon and can figure with normal progress. Griggy is related to four winners and preferred to Musical Sky of the newcomers.
