City Guest has had a few chances and is not getting any nearer. Global Academy hinted at ability on debut at Redcar but didn’t show much in first-time blinkers at Newbury, though dropping back to the minimum might help. DREAM PROSPECT looks the one to be on as he was too keen over 6f at Chepstow last time so is probably best kept to 5f for the time being. It’s difficult to make a case for either of the other pair.
