85/40
Heavy ground winner on debut at Nottingham and finished second under a penalty at Beverley on better ground latest. Still penalised here but the return to a softer surface should help him; leading claims.

7/2
Took a step forward at Doncaster last time out following a fair debut effort, though both of those came on a sound surface. Pedigree suggests he should stay this far on first start since leaving Richard Hannon.

Kendargent colt who cost 25,000gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a winner over just narrowly further than this and trainer having a fair season with juveniles.

40/1
Well beaten on debut at Thirsk last month, and needs to take a big step forward from that, though likely to be better over this slightly longer trip.

12/1
Failed to beat another horse home on debut at Musselburgh last time out, but still wasn't disgraced and is entitled to take a big step forward here. Beaten by Spray The Sea (second) on that occasion.

2/1
Three solid efforts on good to firm/all weather surfaces, needs to prove he handles cut in the ground but best of those performances to date came over this trip.

Ocean Voyage

10/1
Most Improved filly who cost €4,000 as a yearling. In the care of a top trainer and the market should improve informative on this racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Spray The Sea (2/1), Book of Dreams (85/40), Divine Intuition (7/2), Ocean Voyage (10/1), Southpark (12/1), Kenmare River (25/1), Sentimental Gent (40/1)

Verdict

The return to testing conditions should see BOOK OF DREAMS return to the form of of his debut performance, when impressing on heavy ground at Nottingham. He failed to double up under a penalty last time out but still ran well and is the only one of these who is proven on a softer surface. Spray The Sea looks the main danger if he does handle cut in the ground, while Ocean Voyage is a newcomer of interest.
