One More Dream has looked high enough in the handicap since completing a double but Eligible beat subsequent Chelmsford winner Yoshimi when scoring over track and trip in October and is not out of this. ANIF placed over a longer trip here a week ago having won a higher grade contest over course and distance before that and he gets another chance in his current form. Bobby Joe Leg faces a tougher task after going close here but War In Heaven slips further down the weights.
