Verdict
An interesting novice chase. Be My Dream was travelling well when clouting one down the back at Wetherby in an above average race for the time of year and can make amends here. Dalligan looks the big danger after springing a 20/1 shock in a handicap off a mark of 93 and could be open to more improvement for his shrewd handler.
