Verdict
Lucky's Dream still looks ahead of the handicapper having won easily at Chelmsford to land a hat-trick. But he’s facing much tougher opposition in this and Home Before Dusk is another upped in class off a higher mark after scoring over a mile here a fortnight ago. FELIX disappointed at Wolverhampton when bidding for a four-timer but gets another chance having won four of only 10 starts so far including at this level. He was partnered by Ryan Moore when scoring at Newmarket last year and the latter is back on board. Star Of Bengal is one of only two rides on the card for Frankie Dettori having disappointed at Chelmsford back in September though is not easily written off.
