      Verdict

      Rake's Progress finished runner-up over 1m2f at Newbury a fortnight ago but has yet to win over this far and DREAMWEAVER makes more appeal. The latter was successful here last summer before scoring again over today’s trip at Newcastle and Ed Walker’s charge will be sharper for a recent comeback. Stonific has been hurdling though made a winning reappearance on the Flat last year off a similar mark at Doncaster but Heart Of Soul’s only victory to date came in heavy going with Billy No Mates preferred.
