        Verdict

        POWERFUL DREAM beat Bahango when scoring over track and trip in February and went close again back here last time. She may be worth sticking with in her current form. Bahango won at Newcastle in January and should figure again but Compton River remains 5lb higher than November’s success over course and distance. Groundworker and Temple Road were both behind the selection earlier but the latter could pop up at any time off his current mark.
