In depth
Verdict
DREAM RISK is a winner without a penalty having landed a conditionals' race at Worcester last week. A similar effort here would probably suffice as Agricultural hasn't managed to reproduce the form he showed when beating Tinseltown at Uttoxeter in June in two subsequent runs. The four-year-old Ikitview couldn't be ruled out, however, having come back to form at Market Rasen earlier this month while Mardood would be thereabouts if first-time blinkers have the desired effect. Chaser Fred Bojangals looks best of the rest.
