SELF EMPLOYED appeared to win with a bit in hand over track and trip last week and can defy a penalty. Hill Of Dreams has over four lengths to make up with the selection and Midnight Feast looks unlikely to reverse recent running with Hierarch. The latter went close at Lingfield on his latest start and has strong claims. Dozy Joe was beaten only a head in a claiming race here last month and Nubar Boy scored off a similar mark to today at Lingfield in January. That pair could prove best of the remainder.
