Verdict
Dream With Me bids for a fivetimer for the Martin Pipe stable and he is given the TEAMtalk nod albeit at low stakes. It's certainly true that he hasn't beaten that much on the way here but he is fit and sure to put in another decent performance. Rob Leach is a consistent sort from the Gary Moore team. He has gone well fresh in the past but he has not had a prep run prior to this race and he would have preferred it softer. Brooklyn's Gold is given as the most likely danger. He ran away with a race at Hereford two weeks ago and if he hasn't "bounced" after a long break, he should go close. Under The Sand should be watched in the market before any investment is considered.
