Rapid Flight, another Royal runner on the card for Nicky Henderson, has decent claims if all is well after his Ludlow fall earlier this month. He'd previously shown potential when a promising Warwick third and commands respect. However, COLDEN'S DREAM delivered an eye-catching debut when runner-up to the potentially useful Trailboss at Newton Abbot this month, seems sure to appreciate this step-up in trip and can make the most of the 8lb weight allowance received all round. Sounds Russian shaped well on debut too behind the talented No Ordinary Joe at this track and completes the shortlist.
