Verdict

White On Black is sure to be popular but Speed Venture should give him plenty to think about and is preferred; Share My Dream looks best of the remainder. White On Black had Share My Dream 4 lengths back in third when winning a claimer at Taunton last month and there's no obvious reason why Jimmy Frost's mare should reverse the form. Last time, he had already made a couple of mistakes before falling at the third last but he's the highest rated horse in this field and will go close with a clear round. That fall is one of the primary reasons for opposing him with Speed Venture. John Mackie's veteran may have something to find at these weights but his stable is going well and he has ground for the first time this season. His last two wins have come on heavy ground, Tom O'Brien takes over from a conditional and Speed Venture looks poised to regain winning ways.
