Verdict
Patient Dream prevailed by only a neck over track and trip to land a double and is upped a further 6lb today. Herecomeshogan won on fast ground at Exeter back in October while DOM PERRY (NAP) won a maiden hurdle before finishing third in a more competitive handicap than this at Newbury. The handicapper has taken a chance dropping him 2lb and he’s taken to come out best. Aristobulus makes his handicap debut with a shout and is preferred to the likes of Scherbobalob and Hidor De Bersy.
