With most of these struggling to find their best or making their seasonal comeback, Goldream looks to have a good chance of going in again. He scored here earlier in the month but the soft ground may be a problem for him and so another chance goes to HADAJ. The latter should be thereabouts with a repeat of his second to Angus Og at Ripon on his penultimate start. Peterkin is preferred to Tanseeb of the Johnson runners while Dont Bother Me is partnered by Ryan Moore today but hasn't raced over 6f since his debut in 2012. Regal Parade will do well to confirm recent running at York with Picture Dealer given the latter was having his first start of the year while Rene Mathis and Hoodna are others to consider in an unappealing sprint.
