MILLFIELD DREAMS can take this opener, with Ovthenight and Broughtons Paradis others to consider. Ovethenight is a consistent type, and although he has not run on the Flat for some time, he has been turning in some creditable hurdling performances. His last run on the level was an encouraging one and he looks fairly treated. Broughtons Paradis comes here in good heart, after a decent second last time. She looks to be running into form and is respected. Millfields Dreams ran in what turned out to be a hot Lingfield affair a couple of runs ago and shaped quite well, following up with a placed effort at Yarmouth last time. He is well treated, and although a couple of previous efforts at this trip proved disappointing, they were some time ago, and a chance is taken that Millfields Dreams can appreciate this test of stamina and come out on top.
