Australia Day has been a grand servant to connections but looked to have been feeling his age before a break. Pure Style also returns from an absence but was progressive in the autumn, landing a decent contest over track and trip when last seen. Vesperal Dream has won twice over fences since scoring at Wincanton in October. He's now on a career-high mark but bounces off this quicker ground and can't be ignored. WADSWICK COURT has yet to win outside of novice company but he's been taking on better opposition than this and only weakened at the last at Kempton last month. He may just have needed that run and could be a bit of value today. Maiden Go Odee Go has been knocking on the door but has a lot to prove at this level.
