DESERT DREAM won off a 5lb higher mark over course and distance last season and there was enough encouragement in his latest fourth over an inadequate 6f at Catterick to suggest he’s still up to winning a race like this. Peachey Carnehan can play a part if in the mood, despite top weight, while Beryl The Peril has been getting closer. Hoofs Happy Now and Million Reasons also merit consideration.
