Twice a winner over C&D, Lord Theo was not beaten far when fourth back here a fortnight ago. He looks sure to run his race and make another bold bid but VISIONS OF JOHANNA is preferred. Ian Williams' gelding faded in the closing stages over a mile at Kempton last time, but that was only his second run after a lay-off and he should spot on now back over a more suitable trip. Professor John and Strong Vigilance are others to consider while Dream Of Fortune was scheduled to run at Wolverhampton yesterday but has place claims if taking part.
