Fontwell’s abandonment on Wednesday cost Aintree My Dream a winning opportunity but this is an equally uninspiring contest. With a 7lb claimer on board, Dan Skelton’s Warwick winner has every chance of making amends for a last-flight fall at Ffos Las but there was plenty of promise in YALLTARI’s first run at Sandown. Venetia Williams’ six-year-old wasn’t knocked about that day and improvement is almost guaranteed over this longer trip. Huntingdon winner Finula is back in the right grade but Autum Rain has been well beaten in two runs at Ludlow.
