Plenty of course-winning form in this low-grade handicap with Absolute Dream having won twice here and scoring at Hamilton last month from today's rival Stallone, who will be 3lb better off. King Of Tonga is on a long losing run and still looking high in the weights but GINATO (NAP) arrives in good form having just failed to overcome a 7lb rise for his Catterick victory when just touched off at Newcastle and Roger Fell's charge gets the nod. Bronze River has only won on the all-weather but Cosmic Star earned a handicap mark with a much-improved run at Carlisle.
