Court Dreaming, returning to hurdles, is a fine servant to connections and the ten-year-old should go well on a track where he's gained his last three victories. However, he does return from a break and would not want any further softening of conditions. Captain Zebo is another in a love affair with this track - all four of his wins for the yard have been here but he faces quite a task off topweight, though. Yellowstone Park is noted with the champion jockey booked but he's not the easiest to catch right, whilst recent Musselburgh scorer, Curley Finger, should stay competitive off a 5lb higher mark. AAZZA should have more to come off what appeals as a feasible rating off an unchanged mark and the Dobbin mare has gone well for his young rider on his last three starts. He should go well again.
