Verdict
A good run from Bbold in the previous race would be a boost to the chances of Dream Bolt, one of only two previous course winners in the line-up. Gentleman Moore is the other but he can be a tricky customer. Oscar Rose, a fair hurdler, was second on her chasing bow here last month and has a 7lb claimer on board to reduce her welter burden. Vendredi Trois is back on a winning mark and will have needed his run at Market Rasen but MONTY’S AWARD (NAP) came up against an improver at Bangor and was only beaten a neck so can finally get his head in front.
