Powerful Dream scored over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton last week and carries a penalty. That was his first start since July so further progress looks likely but STRICTLY CARTER looks to have the stronger form. Alan Bailey's charge just failed to catch Cultured Knight, rated 72, in a maiden race at Chelmsford last month and can confirm running with Justice Rock back in a handicap. Hot Stuff is another to consider having also placed in maiden company last time as he’d also finished ahead of the selection and Matilda Gleam at Wolverhampton earlier.
