His ability to handle soft ground has to be taken on trust but SKYTRAIN improved for the drop back to today's trip when third at Wolverhampton last month and can land this. Keep The Dream occupied the same finishing position over 6f at Kempton on his debut though he disappointed last time while Sand And Deliver has lost his way of late, although he has been competing in better company. Frans Hals' best effort remains a four-length defeat over C&D on his introduction but he makes most appeal of the remainder.
