      Verdict

      Fields Of Dreams has been raised 5lb for last month’s win at Lingfield but is less exposed than Strawberry Jack, who has recorded both wins so far over 7f. Fighting Temeraire unseated behind the latter before winning in a lower grade over 7f here but Samphire Coast is preferred on his course and distance success in November. Long Call drops back down in trip and is upped in class but this contest is notable for the return of LION HEARTED (NAP). He made a winning reappearance at the start of last year when recording the first of seven victories and only 2lb higher than when last successful, Mick Appleby’s charge is fancied to resume winning ways.
