Verdict

Dreams Of Glory had the slow-starting Head Space well behind when fourth to Skate at Bath last month but has never won off a mark this high. SWENDAB ran well for second at Salisbury, despite being trapped out wide. A repeat of that effort here would probably suffice and he's preferred to Lingfield winner Costa Filey, though he's only gone up 3lb and Tom Marquand is a good jockey booking. Maymyo has a penalty for Tuesday's victory at Chepstow, which came over 6f.
