Improved well last season, and showed that to be the same this term with easy C&D victory back in June. Likely to face similar conditions today and despite 6lb rise is the one to beat.

Got the better of a bunched finish on seasonal return at Newmarket (1m4f) in June before bombing out at that C&D in July. Remains off 1lb higher winning mark.

Hasn't been seen that often due to injuries recently, but outran 100-1 odds to finish 1L fourth at Hamilton (1m5f) in July. Weights are compressed today and makes some place appeal.

Has returned in fantastic form, flying through the handicaps with a hat-tick of wins, including narrow Chepstow victory (1m2f) last month. Now 17lb higher than last winning mark but likely to run another solid race.

Verdict

While he has been burdened with top weight, preference is for DREAMWEAVER to add another C&D victory to his name in this. The four-year-old oozed ability in his previous race at the Lancashire track, and looks set to have race and weather conditions fall perfectly into his lap once more. Songkran and his rise in the weights has been nothing short of impressive and looks to be the obvious main danger - the switch in yard and gelding operation has seemed to revitalise him. While the likes of Akamanto and Potenza outran their claims last time but will need to find slightly more on ratings to land this.
