Verdict

Aintree My Dream and Oneupmanship were both engaged yesterday at Wincanton. When You're Ready was second over this trip at Taunton before winning on heavy going at Leicester and has obvious claims raised only 2lb. The Macon Lugnatic is back over his winning distance having raced over 3m so far this season while Gustavian gained reward for his consistency when winning at Fontwell but this can go to UNOHU. He was only caught in the shadows of the post at Ayr on his handicap debut and is still improving. Global Fame has been a beaten favourite in both starts this term so has a bit to prove now.
