Dreamweaver to slug it out at Sandown

– Dreamweaver can make the most of his bottom weight in the Fizz Fridays At Slug And Lettuce Handicap at Sandown today.

Ed Walker's charge arrives in excellent heart having won two of three starts so far this year, most recently claiming victory at Haydock last month.

While that was only an ordinary handicap, Dreamweaver did not enjoy the best of runs, getting involved in some scrimmaging with a couple of hundred metres to run before needing to be switched for a run.

He could well be a shade better than the result suggest taking that into account and appears to be on an upward trajectory now.

Vasari looked a bit green at the finish on his debut but the experience should stand him in good stead for the Slug And Lettuce Christmas Party EBF Maiden Stakes.

A well-bred individual, he was smartly away at Chelmsford and shapely nicely for Sir Michael Stoute despite being beaten 2.25 lengths into third.

Rock The Cradle has yet to hit the target in six starts, but his moment can arrive in the Slug And Lettuce Afternoon Tea Handicap.

He has shown up well on each of his three handicap outings to date and while he has crept up 2kg to his current perch of 73, he should be more than capable dropped back to 1600m after not quite seeing out 2000m last time.

Mister Chiang can make it a hat-trick for Mark Johnston in the Marathonbet “Better Odds Mean Bigger Winnings” Handicap at Brighton.

Blinkers seem to have worked the oracle on this Archipenko colt, with Mister Chiang triumphing in first-time headgear at Pontefract before again feeling the benefit last time at Bath.

He looked to have a fair bit in hand on the second occasion, so a 1kg rise looks unlikely to stop him.

Celestial Force ran a gallant race in defeat last time and can get back on the winning trail in the Swift Debt Help Handicap at Haydock. – Press Association
