Verdict

On all known recent form this is a three-runner race. Smart novices WE HAVE A DREAM and If The Cap Fits look set to dominate with Nicky Henderson's top juvenile of a year ago getting the vote despite the latter coming out on top at Wincanton. This track and trip will suit Barry Geraghty's mount considerably better and he is taken to turn the tables now. Old Guard doesn't know how to run a bad race but will probably have to settle for third giving weight away to these younger smart prospects.
