Verdict

Love The Leader's winning run came to end when he fell at Taunton in November and this will be his first start since. Kara Tara fell at the first when favourite at Wetherby but Frontier Vic returned to winning ways at Perth while Wake Your Dreams was only beaten a length over course and distance last month, though is 5lb higher. Phare Isle and Amber Flush won over track and trip last year so go on the short-list but the drying ground will aid SINBAD THE SAILOR, who is well treated on past form and ran well on the Flat last month.
