This track should suit Heartshead Dream, who is at the right sort of weight for consideration for an end of season handicap and he is selected over Wing Collar and Majestic Vision, who are just a couple to others that can give the selection a fair bit to think about. Similar comments apply to Most Definitely, who would have been given a stronger mention had he not been creeping up the weights without winning. However, he does go well here and any market confidence would be dangerous to ignore this afternoon. The Tim Easterby-trained Majestic Vision is only lightly raced and is open to a fair bit of improvement. Still, he has been proving to be frustratingly short of the mark in a finish and he may be vulnerable to a more determined rival. Wing Collar - another Easterby inmate - is 4lb higher than for winning at Beverley last month and has more on his plate over this longer trip. Therefore, we stick with Heartshead Dream today, as his battling qualities have already reaped a good return this season and, from a mark of only 69, he can round his turf season off in good style today.
