Hobb's Dream had an engagement at Wincanton yesterday and her best form lately has been over hurdles, while Me Julie and Huckleberry usually find at least one too good. GUYDUS is another who has proved frustrating over fences but Venetia Williams' mare has definitely improved for the fitting of a pair of blinkers and she'll handle the heavy ground better than most. Runner-up at Hereford and Lingfield on her last two starts, she can go one better today. Sir Winston is better than he showed at Plumpton last time but still 4lb higher than his last success and may have to settle for a place again here.
