        Verdict

        Tangramm has struggled off higher marks since landing a hat-trick early last year. He still finished ahead of Clovelly Bay when fourth here last time but DREAM FACTORY is preferred. The latter was having his first start since July when winning at Kempton earlier in the month and Marco Botti’s charge should be capable of further improvement this year. Be My Sea and Rowlestone Lass are not badly treated as they both drop back in distance but last month’s Lingfield winner Clovelly Bay failed to cope with a 4lb rise in the weights on his latest start though was badly impeded and the run is best ignored. Snobbery was tailed off last time having won a maiden race here before that and a tongue-tie may see him back in a better light today.
