Stravita is consistent enough at this level without really threatening to lose her maiden tag while Tiger Dream ran poorly at Uttoxeter after a better effort in a Hereford handicap. Motor Home wasn't beaten far on fast ground at Plumpton in October and probably needed the run at Warwick last month. He looks a threat but Shouldhavenownbettr looked to need every inch of Hereford's 2m4f last week and may find this too short. DOLORES ORTIZ is a rare runner in this grade for Philip Hobbs and though she'll never be a stable star she has a little bit of scope and can take this poor contest.
