Dutch Dream produced a real shock when beating the 1-16 chance Thankyou Stars over the track and trip last month, though that was on fast going. She'd been well beaten off this mark in a handicap earlier so it's difficult to see a repeat performance. Wahaab had to drop into plating company to score at Brighton though he'd previously run well at a slightly higher level than this. Reflation's one and only victory came on heavy going at Chepstow just over a year ago and further rain would aid his cause but the vote in a tricky contest goes to SLIM CHANCE, whose last victory came in this race in 2014 when rated 12lb higher - Simon West's mare hasn't been running badly lately and this looks a good opportunity.
