HIS DREAM (NAP) produced a fluent display of jumping on his chasing bow to win by a wide margin at Perth. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but there looks plenty more to come over fences. Slainte Mhor should be sharper for last month’s chasing bow at Hexham and represents last year’s winning yard along with Speak Of The Devil, who comes here with a 7lb penalty for winning in slightly lower grade at Hexham on Friday. Dundrum Wood has undergone wind surgery since last in action and has his first start over fences but Bako De La Saulaie has placed off a higher mark in the past and may prove best of the rest.
