PATS DREAM was quick to make his mark for his new yard at Ayr last time out and can make light of a 7lb weights rise given he remains handily weighted on past exploits. Kim Bailey’s returning PercyVeering is anotherwho figures on a good mark and merits plenty of respect on the back of another wind op, while Coolmoyne and Anytrixwilldo must enter calculations too.

This could go to one of the Rules debutants, GREAT FLEET making plenty of appeal having finished runner-up in an Irish point ahead of joining his leading trainer He is preferred to newcomer Top Jimmy, who represents a yard who does well in bumpers, with Blue Bellamy the pick of those with previous experience in this sphere.
