DREESE finished third over track and trip on his racecourse debut when six lengths ahead of the rest. James Tate's colt won't need to improve much on that to get his head front in this company. Meebo went close in a seller at Southwell last time but Parkhill Star looks a bigger threat on her recent placed effort over 7f here. The remainder make no appeal with the exception of newcomer Lucky Clover, who is related to a host of winners and should be noted for any support in the betting.
