A weak contest to end the card and Dream Master should be up to the task, Summer Bounty and Wishes Or Watches could be the main rivals. The selection comes here in good form having finished third behind Ndola over course and distance last time out. A repeat effort should be good enough this afternoon. Summer Bounty finished ahead of the selection when they met at Warwick recently and should again be thereabouts, although the selection appears to be the better all-weather performer. Wishes Or Watches has claims on his best Irish form and is one to watch closely in the betting. Bythehokey looks the best of the rest, but Dream Master does at least come here in form and he gets the narrow vote.
