Relentless Dreamer arrives off the back of a couple of good run at Ludlow last month but today’s going will be softer than ideal and he’s gone up another 7lb. Earthmoves and Orbasa have shown their best form over shorter trips and that may also be the case with Rolling Dylan, though he’s comparatively unexposed. Broadway Buffalo looked to be struggling when unseating his rider on his comeback at Haydock but will strip fitter here. WICKED WILLY jumped poorly at Exeter and was pulled up after making a winning start over fences at Huntingdon. He was 11 lengths behind Relentless Dreamer at Ludlow last time but is now 12lb better so has every chance of turning the tables on the top weight. Timeforwest could bounce back to form at any time off her current mark.
