Verdict
Dollar And A Dream ended a long losing run when scoring at Wincanton with Hold Me Tight beaten less than a length. The latter has yet to win in 20 outings over jumps but third-placed PRINCESS MIDNIGHT is less exposed and would have gone close if not for mistakes at the last two fences. She gets a chance to reverse running with a clean round of jumping. Dragon Khan was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Bangor while Wisecracker remains 8lb higher than when winning this last year and has undergone recent wind surgery.
