Well held in three starts since winning over this trip at Wolverhampton in August last year. Handicap mark is falling and worth a check in the market today.

Victorious over this trip at Catterick (good) on his penultimate outing but struggled off a 6lb higher mark at Musselburgh earlier this month and more needed if he's to take this.

Winning for the sixth time on the AW when victorious over this trip at Wolverhampton at the end of last month. .Races off a 1lb higher mark today and interesting if repeating that effort.
Victorious over 7f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) in April and a fair effort when third over 6f at Kempton subsequently. Gelded since and represents a top stable who can boast a 26% strike-rate (7/27) in recent weeks.
Placed once in four starts in Ireland last year but unraced since finishing sixth of seven in a Listed event 11 months ago. Making her handicap and stable debut today.
Good effort to finish runner-up on his first outing since being gelded and handicap debut over this trip at Kempton last month. Making his first outing of the season on that occasion and interesting off a 1lb higher mark.

Blue On Blue (4/1), Envisaging (4/1), Cainhoe Star (5/1), Dark Side Dream (7/1), Fieldsman (7/1), Tobrave (8/1), Sakhee's Return (12/1), Nostalgie (14/1), Dandy Flame (14/1), Gold Hunter (16/1), Rouge Nuage (20/1), Plucky Dip (20/1), Chelsea Corsage (25/1), Steal The Scene (33/1), Arlecchino's Leap (50/1)
The consistent DARK SIDE DREAM can gain reward for a number of solid efforts of late by making all to record a second victory over this C&D in 2017. The selection races off the same mark as when third here last time out and can take this at the chief expense of the maiden Envisaging who races off the same mark that saw him finish a close fourth last time out. Nostalgie is another who has been running well of late and she can claim third on this occasion.
