RACE SUMMARY:
A wide-open class 5 handicap with the narrow vote in favour of 4-y-o MASTERDREAM. A winner in Jersey on his penultimate start, he backed that effort up when second in a selling handicap at Newton Abbot last month and that may not prove his limit for Neil Mulholland. Dutch Admiral, Dr Oakley, on return, and Dolly McQueen head up the dangers.
