Though Vesperal Dream hasn't run since October, fitness is unlikely to be an issue. However, he's won just one of his seven starts over fences and is 11lb higher here. Miss Tenacious hasn't run since August last year but has a decent record here and the drying ground is in her favour. Book 'Em Danno has a bit to prove at present while One For The Boss is upped in grade but SUN WILD LIFE should be capable of holding his own at this level. He didn't handle bottomless ground here in February and is worth another chance.
