        Verdict

        Ocean of Dreams, Rapsgate and Canina are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Ocean Of Dreams. The selection won well last time out when beating Grenane and although this looks tougher under his big weight he looks a progressive type and he is taken to win again from what looks a good draw. Rapsgate rates the main danger on his latest second behind Jimmy The Guesser but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and he looks opposable on that basis. Canina is another that could go well but he has had plenty of chances of late without taking one and again he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Exexel is one of the least exposed in the field so is open to some improvement while Hits Only Jude is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Ocean Of Dreams who is in the form of his life.
