NOMADIC DREAMER never figured when dropped back in trip at Worcester but has otherwise made a promising start over fences with a couple of placed efforts at Market Rasen over today's distance. Sophie Leech's charge makes more appeal than Notarfbad who finished third at Ffos Las on his chasing debut and looks a threat. Trop Fort is the best of these over hurdles and he can figure if taking to the larger obstacles but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
