HAUNTED DREAM (NAP) is a headstrong sort but has won both starts since returning to action. He still won cosily at Lingfield last time despite failing to settle and clipping heels and Ed Dunlop’s charge can defy a 4lb rise. Bolthole looks a threat having placed at Sandown on his reappearance and first start after wind surgery while Spy steps back up in distance after a poor effort at Epsom. Bulleit has won twice over a mile at Kempton and runs over this far for the first time.
