Race Summary

DREAM COMPOSER found the drop to 5f to his liking when appearing to win with something in hand at Newmarket last month, and James Evans' inmate could make light work of a 2lb rise in the handicap. Prop Forward returned to winning ways when making all over 6f last time at Kempton and the five-year-old shouldn't be underestimated now switched to the turf off 4lb higher Clarendon House also makes some appeal.

Win: DREAM COMPOSER
