Michaels Dream was a useful sort on the flat and while he has proved expensive to follow over timber, he can finally get off the mark on this occasion. James Hetherton's string have been a little quiet of late but this horse oozes class and looks a useful recruit. Beyond Borders is worth a look if the money is seen for him in the ring. A useful type in Ireland, he could break Steve Gollings' long spell of losers at Market Rasen. Dracena will probably improve with time on her side while Now And Again has not shown too much in two bumpers for Mick Easterby. Destino was well beaten in a Hexham bumper while Frosty Run could be the fly in the ointment if he can transfer his recent performance in a Haydock bumper to a first foray over timber. Michaels Dream is given the vote in a fascinating opener.
