The Flat-bred Ranskill Road is an interesting newcomer in this bumper, which probably take much winning. Dares To Dream won on the bridle here on Boxing Day after finishing second at Kelso but that race was run at a crawl. However, she is still preferred to stablemate Adelphi Prince. BEAST OF BELTANE has yet to run up to the promise of a smart pedigree but Brian Hughes rides for the first time and he’s upped in trip. He might be a value alternative to the likely hot favourite.
