There was plenty to like about WONDERFUL DREAMER’s first run over hurdles at Newton Abbot. He’ll appreciate this step up in trip and could be a first winner for fledgling Somerset handler Louise Cabble. Southwell runner-up Masteen is another likely improver while Somekindofstar progressed when second at Warwick. Article Fifty has yet to reproduce his second at Newbury last year, however, and winning pointer The Cattlejobber was beaten a long way on his debut under Rules at Uttoxeter.
Article Fifty (IRE) 5-4 (11-2) Tracked leaders, ridden and outpaced before 2 out, 3rd of 6, 11 1/4l behind Stony Stream (11-2) at Southwell 2m 4f mdn (5) gd in Jun.
Masteen (FR) 12-1 (10-12) Tracked leaders, effort before 2 out, soon ridden and one pace, went 2nd before last, no chance with winner, 2nd of 10, 9l behind Monkey Puzzle (10-12) at Southwell 2m 4f mdn (5) gd in May.
The Cattlejobber 25-1 (11-0) Held up last, never a factor, tailed off, 5th of 6, 32 3/4l behind Fortified Bay (11-0) at Uttoxeter 2m 7f mdn (5) gd in May.
