The Evan Williams trained Euro Dilemma can land the finale at the expense of Delightful Clich¿nd Jubilee Dream. The selection comes from a yard having winners at present and the fact that he ran so well on his first start for his new yard when finishing second behind Ockley Flyer at Hereford last time out. If improving once again he has to respected. Delightful Clich¿as shown some form in bumper races as a young horse and then lost his way slightly. He showed improvement when finishing second to Seafield Bogie at Market Rasen last time out. If able to capitalize on that then he has to be short listed. The same can be said about Jubilee Dream who was rated in the high sixties on the flat and who has run well on all three runs over hurdles most latterly when third of eleven at Fontwell last time out so is to be noted. But for the winner we return to Euro Dilemma.
