In a routine novice event, Harry's Dream gets a strong nomination. Harry's Dream's second to On The Outside was franked this week when the winner scored at Huntingdon. For us, that rates as the best form on offer and he looks the one to beat. Mister Zaffaran is nicely bred for this game but needs to improve on what has so far been shown. The well-bred Great Escape has good breeding for this game and has shown up in the pointing fields, but has something to prove overall. Finally, Come To The Bar was well held on his first run under Rules. Finally, give Weldiva the once-over in the betting, but Harry's Dream gets a solid vote.
