Ultimate Dream was pulled up on his chasing bow and was hard to catch right over hurdles. Deadly Move has won his last five between the flags but has never won under Rules. Shady Glen has not managed a victory in 10 attempts over 3m, though did score over an extended 2m6f at Stratford last summer. Cheekpieces appeared to transform FORT GABRIEL (NAP) at Fontwell and he can win again for David Bridgwater, despite his penalty.
