In depth

Verdict

From the sublime to the ridiculous; this race will take little winning so we will side with Share My Dream ahead of Thenameescapesme. The selection has put in a couple of decent efforts in similar contests when in selling company previously, and with the ability to handle testing conditions, she looks set to run a big race. Her jockey's bumper claim means she can race off a feather weight, and so she gets the nod. Thenameescapesme won a claimer at Ludlow in December but has disappointed twice since. He may well be popular in the market but as with most of these horses, a true run is not guaranteed. Mayyas is winless in seven runs over obstacles however he wasn't beaten far on his last jaunt to Uttoxeter so should be watched in the market for signs of support. Saphire Night should be closely monitored for signs of confidence in the market, however we will stick with Share My Dream to take this weak contest.
