The selection is Romany Dream with the main dangers being Cossack Dancer, Bishop's Bridge and Toulouse. Romany Dream is trained by Robin Dickin and ridden by Henry Oliver. This consistent eight-year-old ran a solid race at Fontwell and a repetition of that run could well be good enough here. Cossack Dancer, ridden by Matty Batchelor, ran an improved second at Ludlow last time out and looks to be coming to hand. Andy Turnell's Bishop's Bridge, who only just gets this trip finished very tired last time out. Toulouse trained by Tim Easterby and ridden by David O'Meara was a little one paced last time out and would need to improve in order to take a hand here. The selection then is Romany Dream who is taken to oblige at a decent price.
