Hard to be confident about any of these, but DREAM WALKER went close at Newcastle the last time he encountered similar ground and Brian Ellison's charge gets a tentative vote. Remember Rocky was also placed at the same meeting at Newcastle so he can be given a chance but Music Festival has something to prove regarding both distance and going. Fine Altomis has the past form to figure and is back on a winning mark though he'll need to step up on his recent form to figure and Lucy Bee makes most appeal of the remainder.
