In depth
Verdict
DREAMWEAVER won off a mark of 80 on the Flat for Ed Walker and as that was over 1m6f, he won’t get beaten for a lack of stamina. Hybris pulled up few trees for Willie Mullins and Sophie Leech takes up the challenge of improving him while Gertcha was modest on the Flat for John Flint and is now with Daniel Bourne. Luke San returns from a layoff but was well supported in a couple of bumpers in 2021. Spider Bill has shown little as yet.
