Honour's Dream won very easily at Warwick and can defy his penalty at the main expense of Haditovski and Wotchalike with Irish raider Kilcoe Castle one to watch in the market. Admittedly, it wasn't much of a race that Tom George's charge won at Warwick where he showed improved form for the fitting of cheekpieces but he did it in good fashion and this won't take a deal of winning either. The Slad trainer has struck up an excellent partnership with Paddy Brennan this season and the pair can record another success here. Primitive Academy was a fortuitous winner last time and could struggle from his revised mark and of more interest are Wotchalike and veteran Haditovski. Neither comes into the race in great form but John Mackie has his string in good order and his veteran has a decent record here but Haditovski will do well to get the better of Honour's Dream who looks well treated today.
