Verdict

DRAMATIC STAR went like the best horse at the weights on his only previous attempt at 2m at Kempton last year and, with his recent run behind him, he could be ready to get back to winning ways. Beylerbeyi has been shaping up well this year and isn't taken lightly, with the hat-trick seeking Duke of Oxford completing the shortlist.
