Verdict
LIZ'S DREAM can pick up where he left off in May with another success. Chasing a four-timer, the Alfora gelding made rapid strides earlier in the year winning all three of his starts. He didn't have much in hand on his latest start at Uttoxeter but he should run well despite an 11lb higher mark. Mad Moose stays well and is respected despite falling at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago, whilst Bescot Springs looks the pick of Lucinda Russell's pair, espeically so if there is any rain around. Huncheon Wells has tumbled over fences and hurdles this year so is hard to fancy, although his second to Nedzer's Return here in May reads well. Of the rest Dickie Henderhoop looks of more interest than Planetarium over this three mile trip.
