      Verdict

      I HAVE DREAMED has proved no match for Gwanako in his last two starts over this trip at Sandown but still has the best form on offer in this and can gain a deserved success. Hoo La Baloo isn't the force of old but should still go close at this level after a pipe-opener at Sandown while Start Royal was quite impressive at Folkestone in February but is taking on stronger opposition here. Trifollet had her limitations exposed at Stratford last month while this looks too tough for Master Medic and Vico fell heavily at Newbury last time.
