Big Bad Dream made a promising start here in January but didn't make the expected progress at Hexham in April. Indian Harbour's one decent effort came when runner-up on this track though on very testing ground. Storm Nelson didn't run badly on his debut here in January but was well beaten the following month at Towcester. SUNNY DESTINATION was narrowly beaten in this a year ago but didn't run again until Carlisle last month. This shouldn't take much winning and he's taken to go one better. The four-year-old filly Drumnagreagh gets plenty of allowances and the market should provide some clues to her chances and those of the newcomers.
