Verdict
Voix Du Reve is 8lb lower than when landing this 12 months ago. He is in the veteran stage nowadays but has been quite highly tried this term, though has almost 10 lengths to find with Stainsby Girl on their run together here three weeks ago. That said, the top weight is 8lb worse off. Albert's Back was a long way behind the latter at Haydock in November and hasn’t raced since but THEREISNODOUBT is having his fifth start since the turn of the year and has been in fine form. His latest fourth in the Morebattle at Kelso suggests he shouldn’t be far away in this much less competitive affair. Lebowski was pulled up at Kelso but War Soldier looks a danger as he’s already won around here this season and his defeat of Matata at Haydock in December is working out well.
