With conditions to suit, and Richard Johnson booked to ride again, Share My Dream gets the vote over Tirol Livit, Inchcape Rock and Pinkerton Mill. Share My Dream was sent off as favourite in a Stratford seller ten-days ago, but found the going much too fast, having to settle for second place. The track was too sharp for Jimmy Frost's mare as well, and so, with no such negatives this time, she is taken to get back to winning ways under Richard Johnson, who rode her to victory at Exeter in March. She will strip fitter for her recent return, and is the one to beat. Tirol Livit was a faller on his latest start at Cartmel, but showed there was some ability when when scoring in lowly company at Market Rasen earlier, while Inchcape Rock has the assistance of Tony McCoy. Of the rest, Pinkerton Mill is dropped in grade but was well beaten last time, and preference on this occasion is for Share My Dream.
