A very tough nursery for punters to unravel. Tim Easterby has won this three times in five years and Dream of Honour is respected after a very good run at York though he was earlier 5l behind SHALLOW HAL at Ayr. That was on heavy ground, which suited the winner who has since landed the odds in easy fashion on good to soft at Pontefract and can complete a hat-trick. She Can Boogie has only raced over the minimum but hasn't been stopping which suggests she'll have no problems with the extra. St Peters Basilica makes his handicap debut and faces a daunting task but K Club has been going well in strong company and should be thereabouts again. Roulston Scar is improving and could be well treated for his handicap debut while Sylvia's Mother has been progressing and can go well from the bottom of the weights.
