    Verdict

    Sir Mark Prescott's Dream Fantasy has done everything asked of him in two starts over shorter so far and, with further improvement to come for tonight's trip of a mile, can complete a hat-trick at the main expense of Spy Glass and Yarqus. The last mentioned has shown enough to suggest that he can win races but Clive Brittain's colt needs to improve to trouble the selection and a bigger threat is likely to come from Spy Glass. John Dunlop's colt left his previous form behind when landing a Lingfield maiden on the soft last time and has to be of interest on his all-weather debut. Blushing Hilary receives weight all round but does not look good enough and, with neither William John nor Berties Brother having shown any worthwhile form, this should go to Dream Fantasy, who can make it three from three.
