Imperial Dream gets the confident vote with Lord Capitane and Contract Scotland heading the list of dangers. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he is rising in the weights he has won in the style of an improver and could still be ahead of the handicapper and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Lord Capitane rates the main danger he won well over course and distance last time out when defeating Simlet but he will find this harder as this looks more competitive and his penalty may find him out. Contract Scotland is another that could go well but his best form is on fast ground and for that reason he is over looked. Finbar's Revenge was pulled up last time out but prior to that he had been a fair second in a similar race so he should be noted in the market. The same comment applies to Time To Reflect who is from a shrewd yard looks to be on a handy mark but for the winner we return to the in-form Imperial Dream.
