Classic Dream, Capitalise and Carlton Scroop are three against the field in the opener and the confident vote is given to Classsic Dream. The selection is a well bred type from a yard in top form is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and in a poor affair he will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Capitalise rates the main danger on his latest second behind Chess Board he is sure to improve and should be closely watched in the market. Carlton Scroop has shown enough in three runs to date to suggest he could win a smal,l race and could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers but his overall profile leaves him with plenty to find. Of the remainder Leamington Lad won at up to 10 furlongs on the flat and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Classic Dream.
