Verdict

Neither Angel Way and Excellent Jem could cope with a rise in the weights last time having won on their penultimate outings. Where's Reiley has to race off a higher mark back on the Polytrack but DREAM CATCHER has moved in the opposite direction and nearly took advantage when second at Kempton last time. Henry Candy's charge can go one better in this while Going French makes more appeal than Little China with the latter having proved best over 5f so far.
