DEAR MR FANTASY can follow up a recent plating success though Zaffature and Stef and Stelio are of interest. John Hills' charge won in spite of a sticky start and with a number of these performers out of form, there is no substitute for winning form. Zaffature is tried in headgear in an attempt to reverse form with our selection. There is also the small matter of a 2lb differential in her favour. Stef and Stelio took his chance is a decent Ripon maiden the other week so this represents something of a drop in sights. High Resolution has a bit to do at these weights to be competitive. Smog rates as a rare runner at this level for Brian Meehan and the application of headgear is certainly interesting. Underworld Dandy has been on the go for sometime but if able to bounce back from a below par effort at Salisbury, there is a chance on the figures. Not a race to mull over for too long and Dear Mr Fantasy is recommended at minimal stakes.
