Golden View has won a point-to-point and a bumper but is taking a while to get to grips with regulation fences. Galley Slave has won a couple of handicap hurdles this year but has been well beaten in his last two starts while Frosty Spring has had plenty of chances. Dodgey Dream has won between the flags but is nothing special and lacks the scope of DICA. A winner on his racecourse debut over timber at Musselburgh, he can shrug of a recent absence to open his account over the larger obstacles here.
