Andhaar ran well in a handicap last time and needs to be noted dropping back into maiden company and while Dreamwalk ran nicely last time we side with DOME ROCKET. The gelding was a beaten favourite over a trip that looked to stretch his stamina last time but the form from his penultimate start looks strong in the context of this race when he only found a useful sort too good. The ground is a bit of an unknown factor but he should go on it enough to run a big race. Andhaar put in a pleasing effort in what has so far proved a weak handicap last time out but has been holding his form well. On the pick of his maiden form he as a big chance here and has to be respected dropping back into this sphere. Ralph Beckett's Dreamwalk looked to improve for the step up to this trip on his last outing when only just missing out to a subsequent winner and the gelding should put in another good showing. Daredevil Dan also improved for this trip last time and could grab some prize money but it should be for a place only with Dome Rocket expected to score.
