    Verdict

    Dylan's Lad only landed a lowly classified event over track and trip last time but the runner-up has won subsequently and he can confirm latest running with both Mansfield and Carla Koala. Elzaam's Dream remains 5lb higher than September’s success here, though has run into a place since, but another chance goes to KATELLI. Beaten only a short-head when last competing over track and trip, Richard Fahey’s charge can race off the same mark today having failed to stay 7f last time.
