Whitecrest finished a well beaten third at Sandown when ahead of previous winner Oscars Journey with Swendab further behind. The latter takes on BONJOUR STEVE (NAP) once again after earlier tussles over track and trip with the latter weighted to come out best on this occasion especially if the ground remains soft. Doc Charm will also handle any cut in the ground but attempts the minimum trip for the first time here while Dreams Of Glory has done all his winning over 5f but on faster surfaces.
