This is a marked drop in class for DUTCH DECOY who may be able to capitalise on his tumbling handicap mark, with Jamie Spencer an interesting jockey booking. Encouragable shaped with promise on first run for a yard that so often improve stable switchers, while C&D winner Midnight's Dream is respected back on turf following a creditable effort on the all-weather last month.
