Waldo's Dream, Spirit Calling and Mountain Oscar are the ones to look at here, with Waldo's Dream taken to score. Spirit Calling has shaped respectably on both his starts to date, both at Catterick. He has finished fourth on each occasion, and perhaps can hit the frame here. Mountain Oscar won on his debut in a Towcester bumper, before disappointing next time under a penalty. He clearly has ability but may struggle to follow up his win. Waldo's Dream also has a bumper success to his name as well as two runner up spots. He has been the most consistent runner in the field and Waldo's Dream can make those fantasies come true.
