        Verdict

        Cameley Dawn is only 4lb higher than when successful over track and trip in August but she was tailed off at Bath on her reappearance. Megalala is the other course and distance winner in the line-up but is now a 14-year-old while Lindsay's Dream is better known as a hurdler. Weld Arab is much better on the Polytrack but the lightly-raced Zeteah could be interesting off bottom weight with Tom Marquand taking off a further 7lb. Paddy Pilley rode HIGHLIFE DANCER to victory around this time last year at Leicester. He's 2lb lower in the weights now and would have a great chance in this if the ground dries out a little more.
