Verdict
Bongo Fury is sure to have his supporters here but we will give the vote to Forever Dream with Bareme the best of the remainder. The selection fell last time out in a good race at Cheltenham which was won by Calatagan. Although he would not want any further rain he may be worth chancing here as he had previously been running really well. The more rain the better for Bongo Fury who proved herself to be quite useful last season, and she is an obvious danger to our selection. She is a consistent and progressive sort so is once again sure to run her race. Bareme won well last time at Kempton , but he needs to be coaxed along and his trainer believes he still a lot to learn, so he might find this a little too hot at this stage in his development. Spring Pursuit should relish the conditions and is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Forever Dream.
