In depth
Verdict
I HAVE DREAMED got no further than the first fence when favourite at Cheltenham last time but had recorded a double before that and can resume winning ways over these fences. Rash Move arrives in fine fettle having won his last two starts, including his recent comeback at Cheltenham, and Huntingdon winner The Polomoche is another to consider if staying on his feet. Unowatimeen's jumping has gone to pieces since scoring at Haydock in February, but Risk made a decent reappearance at Stratford after a long absence and he has claims on his best form.
