Verdict

Kingdom Of Dreams is on the up and can land the finale, mainly at the expense of Piccolomini, Eloquent Knight and Bravemore. An improving three-year-old from the Sir Michael Stoute stable, it is hard not to be taken by the profile of the selection. He left a very good impression at Hamilton that day and is taken to score again. Bravemore did well last season and his latest effort suggested that his mark is fair enough, and he can be competitive for a place. So can Piccolomini, who has finished second in each of his last three races, and Eloquent Knight, who raced too keenly when just beaten by Just A Try at Windsor last time, a run that gives him a chance here. Moving up in trip might bring about some improvement form Pillar Of Wisdom and Sunset Strip, and watch the betting with regard to John Gosden's Fantorini. However, the one they all have to beat is Kingdom Of Dreams, and he is taken to score.
