Verdict

Lots with chances in this very competitive handicap. DREAM TODAY made a solid return to turf when third to the reopposing Dandyville at Naas 3 weeks ago and is taken to turn the tables on 10 lb better terms. Natalia Lupini's charge is unlikely to go down without a fight as he bids for a 4-timer and is second choice ahead of recent Navan 1-2 Jon Riggens and Tawaazon.
