Today's longer distance is a worry for both Emerald Wilderness and Ajeeb but LIVIA'S DREAM won over 1m4f at Kempton in September. She had Moderator a couple of lengths behind when going very close back at the same track last time and looks the safest option. Others with a less obvious chance include David Pipe's runner The Pier, 8lb lower than when fifth at Dundalk last year and Wildomar, back on a winning mark with an apprentice's claim taken into account. Canary Wharf had looked progressive before seemingly not staying today's distance when last at Leicester so it's interesting connections persevere with Silvestre De Sousa on board.
