Burgess Dream went close over these fences in January but was a disappointing favourite back here a fortnight ago. Very Live landed a double over shorter trips earlier but had failed to complete in a couple of subsequent starts over 3m at Sandown, albeit in better company than this. YA HAFED unseated at Fontwell last time but is a dual course and distance winner and scored here in November on his first start back from lay-off. Sheena West's charge may well perform the same feat in this, despite a 5lb higher mark.
Very Live (FR) 33-1 (12-0) Unseated rider 1st, at Sandown 3m (3) sft in Mar.
Ya Hafed 9-2 (11-1) Always towards rear, unseated rider 3 out, at Fontwell 3m 1f hcp (5) hvy in Dec.
Burgess Dream (IRE) 11-4fav (11-8) Close up, headway to chase leading pair 4 out, ridden 4 out, soon beaten, left remote 3rd at last, 3rd of 5, 36 1/4l behind Molly Oscar (10-11) at Plumpton 3m 2f hcp (5) sft in Mar.
