Mati Hari Blue has been in fine fettle at Southwell of late but has won over 5f here albeit in soft ground off a much lower mark. Tagula Night scored over the minimum trip at Sandown last season but Aye Aye Digby made all over track and trip earlier this month with Elna Bright and Interakt behind and makes more appeal. We Have A Dream is a rare winner nowadays and the veteran Judd Street continues to struggle despite tumbling down the weights. A chance is taken on MON BRAV as his recent third at Doncaster may herald a return to form while Dorback is another with claims on one of his going days.
