Vivid Dreams is highly respected at this level and will have sound claims if she races with a little more restraint than she did in the Cheshire Oaks when she last visited Chester. However, slender preference is for INFRASTRUCTURE, who will appreciate this sterner test of stamina than last time and can be expected to be a lot sharper now he has a recent run behind him. The gelding has also coped well with this unique surface before and is an appealing option from what could well be a lenient mark. Gossip Column arrives in good heart and is another to consider from just a 3lb higher mark than for his win at York last month Mugatoo also makes the shortlist.
