Difficult to look beyond the 133-rated Fontwell scorer DREAM DU GRAND VAL who should kick-start what promises to be a productive afternoon in the Scottish Borders for Nicky Henderson. His keen style of racing looks well suited to this sharp track and he has the standout piece of form on offer. The minor placings can be filled by Point Break and Skiddaw Valleys with precious little else making any form of positive appeal.
