Excellent Aim has won at Wolverhampton in the past but tends to save his best for Brighton nowadays. DONE DREAMING is preferred with a belated reappearance at Wolverhampton under his belt given he was placed off higher marks last year. Lujeanie is back on a winning mark and can go close if in the mood but Ghost Train remains 5lb higher than when scoring over 7f here back in March. Italian Tom is a rare winner but has slipped down the weights of late.
