Verdict
Andreo Bambaleo won over 3m at Market Rasen before his latest fourth over this trip at Perth. He could easily bounce back here and Wake Your Dreams only found Kayaan too good at Market Rasen after winning at Ludlow. But he's closely matched with HI GEORGE on today's terms and, with Malcolm Jefferson's gelding back in this grade for the first time since winning at Sedgefield in the autumn, he gets the vote. Weybridge Light and Stanley Bridge have still more to do after recent seconds and Sergeant Pink is better over fences nowadays, as he proved when scoring at Cartmel.
