Verdict

This looks to be another competitive contest and the shortlisted trio are Sunday City, Bogus Dreams and Izzykeen with the vote given to Bogus Dreams. The selection returns to this sphere today after an impressive win over fences last time out. He has had his injury problems but those now appear to be behind him and he should take plenty of beating today. Sunday City looks a progressive sort and he won well over this course and distance last time when beating Red Man. This is tougher but he won in decisive fashion and he will give our selection plenty to think about. Izzykeen was well-beaten over fences last time but his form over hurdles is decent and he looks to have a solid each-way chance. Spring Breeze ran well enough at Musselburgh last time and he does go particularly well at Catterick, but for the winner we are happy to stick with Bogus Dreams.
