A race that is likely to have punters scurrying to the car park but for betting purposes we are with Dreams Jewel although Bobsleigh and Grasp have claims in opposition. Dreams Jewel should be fit enough for this as he had a run over hurdles a week ago. He comes with a warning that he has his own ideas about the game but if he can be humoured into cooperating with his rider, he has displayed solid form at 14f and upwards. Bobsleigh is another monkey of the highest order. He invariably travels without consenting to deliver. Grasp is rated in three figures over hurdles. This is an obvious opportunity if he can cope without the discipline of jumping them. Brave Bugsy hails from a yard not noted for runners in this sphere. Zeloso has one of the country's better amateurs aboard whilst Southwell winner, Dansilver is one to note if the market if any confidence is detected in the market. The ex-Barry Hills trained Maximix is probably best of the rest. Dreams Jewel is put up to the most minimal of stakes.
