Verdict

Shaydreambeliever gets the confident vote in this seller with Looks The Business and Treetops Hotel rating the main dangers. Ther selection has the highest official mark and won well last time out when beating Bedouin Blue, and under similar conditions here will be hard to beat. Looks The Business rates the main danger on his best form but he would be better off with the selection if this were a handicap and he may need the run after a 127-day break. Treetops Hotel is another that could go well as he loves this track but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the others Atlantic Gamble and Regency Red are others with place claims but Shaydreambeliever has plenty going for him today and he will be hard to beat.
