Verdict

DRAMATIC STAR found plenty for pressure having been gelded when landing a Newcastle handicap on his final start of last season. He's in excellent hands and is taken to make a winning return at the expense of Claymore, who shaped as if still in good form at Yarmouth last month and remains well handicapped on the best of his form, while the Ian Williams' pair both look interesting given their course form, Dream Harder (headgear refitted) runner-up in this race off the same mark 12 months ago.

  1. DRAMATIC STAR
  2. CLAYMORE (FR)
  3. DREAM HARDER (IRE)
