Isaac Wonder has been second three times over hurdles and has solid place claims again. Dream Machine is an interesting newcomer for the Mulholland team as he’s won the level but Barcalona has yet to show any worthwhile form and may do better over fences. DIEU BENISSE looked short of confidence at Ludlow having fallen in her first two starts but she did at least put in a clear round and that should stand her in good stead around here.
