        Verdict

        Beauty Of Dreams gets the vote over the likes of Margery Daw, Stormville and Bulberry Hill. Beauty Of Dreams lines up with a recent win to her credit, having gained a rather easy victory at this level at Lingfield a week ago. She has undoubtedly plummeted down the ratings, having been as high as 78 last year, and it really is hard to ignore her claims today. Margery Daw is rated even lower than the selection but absolutely bolted up at Lingfield the time before last. However, his limitations were exposed on a return visit last week, and he has been kept very busy over the last couple of days. Stormville is not the horse that he was two years ago and is hard to fancy as well, but Bulberry Hill was a creditable third at Lingfield a fortnight ago and apparently was expected to go well on the day. Monica Geller would be interesting if she did not have such a long absence to overcome, but any support for her should be noted. All in all though, Beauty Of Dreams appears to be the one to beat
