Verdict

FIELD OF DREAM may not be the force of old but is still a smart handicapper on his day and may prove too good for these. Aqua Ardens is weighted to beat the former but seems best over 7f nowadays while Hannington arrives off the back of a win at Lingfield and should also go well. Piccadilly Jim has been winning plating races against lesser opponents than these and has something to find on today's terms, as do the likes of Patriotic and Fleckerl.
