Verdict
Cobblers Dream’s first preference is the 1.40 Newbury and Gaelik Coast lost his way in the spring and is best watched on his reappearance. FOSTER’SISLAND (NAP) has won six times over hurdles with Emma Smith-Chaston on board for the last four of those victories. Micky Hammond’s gelding made a satisfactory reappearance at Carlisle and the quicker going here will suit. Matchless tries a new trip but was a winner at Musselburgh last month and Peking Rose won first-time out last season, as did Rath Gaul Hill.
