Don't Do It went close in this lowly grade over track and trip last time with Affluence back in third. The latter re-opposes on better terms with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause but HIDDEN DREAM is preferred. Christine Dunnett's filly won a Class 6 contest over course and distance before struggling over a mile at Lingfield and should be in the mix again dropping down to this level. Steel Helmet posted a better effort here on his penultimate start and Iberica Road should be sharper for a recent comeback run but Cloud Nine is returning from a lengthy lay-off.
