Verdict
Dream Ally ended a long losing run when beating Rat Catcher over track and trip recently but is harder to fancy off a 6lb higher mark. Harpers Ruby failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won over 5f here earlier while Tasaaboq has yet to win in 26 starts and his recent placed efforts have been over 7f. Runner-up GENERALYSE and Swendab finished practically upsides when filling the places over course and distance at the start of the month. But the former had to overcome a slow start and can confirm running in this in the process of going one better.
