Verdict
HIS DREAM (NAP) appeared to have plenty in hand when pouncing late to get the better of previous winner Boethius at Stratford earlier this month. He’s only gone up 4lb for that so should confirm the form with the second and also fourth Gaelic Flow. Collateral form suggests June’s Market Rasen winner Big Picture will struggle to contain the top weight while Howlongisafoot is still 8lb higher than when scoring here last month. Midnight Aurora may be the pick of the remainder.
