Three-year-olds have a poor record in this but Four Dragons, who was a decent juvenile, will have benefited from his recent comeback at Chester. Magical Dreamer was no match for Guishan at Nottingham last time but the winner has scored off a higher mark since. Memories Galore beat a big field at Thirsk last month, including Invincible Ridge and Elysian Flyer, while Rasheeq and Top Boy would have claims on past form but MAJOR PUSEY deserves a change of luck. John Gallagher’s consistent five-year-old ran another fine race in a valuable sprint at Windsor last time and is one of only two previous course and distance winners in the line-up.
