A competitive contest as many arrive in good form. Arnold Lane wins in his turn but may struggle at the weights and Kakatosi is likely to need the run against so many in-form sorts. Dream Walker has to be of interest having dropped to a feasible mark, having finally found some form at Haydock last time - and he'll handle conditions. However, DILGURA is a six-year-old mare in prime form, has a course and distance success to her name and has performed well on both soft and heavy conditions. She gets on well with her apprentice partner and the combination is taken to return to winning form off an unchanged mark after a solid run at Chepstow last time. Bahama Moon and Boots And Spurs are of interest on the forecast ground and Toboggan's Fire, the sole three-year-old, may also contend off such a light weight.
