Verdict
Dream Walker has shown little since rejoining Brian Ellison and is best watched for now but there are possibilities about Calder Prince on his best form this season and Storm Ahead won’t mind conditions as he won on soft going at Doncaster in June. David O’Meara acquired TUKHOOM after the six-year-old won a claimer at Redcar in June. There were excuses for his latest run at Musselburgh with the top weight showing progressive form in his first three starts for the yard. Bollihope tends to struggle in this grade and probably neds further.
