Verdict

It’s taken a little while for COLONIAL DREAMS to totally get his act together over hurdles but he beat a relatively useful field last time at Ascot and his second to Black Op stands out like a beacon amongst the form shown by this field so far. Tayzar has shown some promise in most of his runs with the latest outing being his best and a return to this trio should suit. Langness looks very much one for the future who will need some more experience yet and this may offer a chance to Infinite Sun to get his career back on track to a certain extent.
