      Verdict

      Samuel Charles gets the confident vote here with Feelin Irie and Golden Spectrum rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Magic Warrior and although rising in the weights he could improve for this longer trip. Feelin Irie rates the main danger as he also won last time out when defeating Mid Valley. He remains on a fair mark and with his yard continuing in good form he will not be far away. Golden Spectrum was behind the selection last time but is better off at the weights here. However he is very hard to win with and again he is opposed with this in mind. The booking of Seb Sanders for Ocean Of Dreams catches the eye and he could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to Samuel Charles who again has conditions to suit.
