Verdict
Dream's Ka merits plenty of respect following his Bangor success last month, but a 12lb higher mark has to be a concern. As a result, preference is for MODERN STYLE, whose winning run came to an end at Uttoxeter last time but he was not disgraced when a close second on that occasion. Midnight View did not appear to stay when upped to 2m5f on his most recent start and should find this trip more suitable.
Expert View Verdict
The progressive Dream's Ka was off the mark with a bit in hand at Bangor last time and should have more to offer being a 4yo, but he's gone up a hefty 12lb and needs more to follow up. He could be up to it, but there are alternatives with MODERN STYLE looking a decent shout as a fellow 4yo who should relish the step back up in trip - he failed in his hat-trick bid last time when dropping from 2m3f down to 2m. His mark is still decent. Amatchmadeinheaven was too keen overly further last time and appeals as one likely to progress now down in trip and handicapping.
