Forecasts
Western Ryder (4/1), Silver Streak (9/2), Vision Des Flos (9/2), Summerville Boy (9/2), We Have A Dream (13/2), Brain Power (7/1), Old Guard (11/1), The New One (14/1)
An interesting contest, but one which has no stand-out contender. Brain Power has the ability to win, but is an in-and-out performer who may be better going the other way round, while stable companion We Have A Dream has not been at his best this season and needs to find more for last year's winning trainer. The roof will come off the stands if The New One wins again, but he is approaching the veteran stage and better value may lie with SILVER STREAK, who has a bit to find on ratings but is on an upward curve. Summerville Boy would be a huge threat if returning to his Cheltenham Festival form and the consistent Old Guard should be thereabouts again.
