SLEEP WALK remains unbeaten and is worth sticking with. She had plenty more left in the tank when winning on her handicap debut by only a neck under a well-timed ride from Martin Harley and can defy a penalty. Both Souville and Nova Champ won their penultimate starts and drop back down in class for this while Dinneratmidnight won well enough at Lingfield to suggest he can figure again off a 5lb higher mark. Course and distance winner Furas is the least exposed and may prove best of the remainder.
