Verdict

Colourbearer continues to improve and he'll need to do so again here raised 7lb for his recent win over 5f. Grandmas Dream also scored over the minimum trip at Brighton last time, but she won over 6f at Kempton before that and is closely matched with Millyluvstobouggie on recent running. However, VENTURA COVE is dropped in class on his return from a lay-off and, 2lb lower than his win at Thirsk last season, Richard Fahey's charge could make his all-weather debut a winning one.
