Form & Verdict
12-race maiden who has blown hot and cold since moving into handicaps; had a wind op prior to Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago, a race where she was sent off favourite; has the ability to win off this mark but she's not one to rely on.

Reenies Dream

9st 7lb

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Bryan Smart

Quirky maiden who virtually refused to race at Newcastle in February, but she ran well at Southwell on her penultimate run, and her best effort last season was a close call over C&D; returns after wind surgery and she's not ruled out back at this track.

9st 5lb

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Bryan Smart

Quirky maiden who has often shown a tendency to race too freely and who lost all chance when virtually refusing to race on penultimate start; did well to take fourth over C&D last month, but remains a risky option.

Form & Verdict
Back to winning ways in a C&D classified event in July; similar form back here in handicap company two weeks ago; a good early pace would play to his strengths.

Hardly prolific but he has six C&D wins on his record, the latest three weeks ago when coming from off the pace to win decisively in 0-50 classified company; this is tougher but we know he's capable when in top form.

Form & Verdict
Took his record to 0-10 when fifth of eight behind Dream Forever at Carlisle (6f, good to soft; first run after a wind op) 15 days ago; needs to see things out better and this stiff test isn't sure to suit; visor now added.

Raced prominently when a creditable third in a Ripon handicap (6f, good) in May but he's been well held in three runs since; record is now 0-9 and he needs to get back on track after wind surgery.

Lacks consistency but it's best to forgive his latest effort (met major traffic issues); showed best handicap form when third over C&D in May; now 4lb lower and Rhys Elliott takes off a bonus 5lb; interesting back here.

Returned from a three-month break to spring a 33-1 surprise at Carlisle (6f, good to soft; blinkers first time) last month; has C&D form and if the headgear works a second time he should be bang there up just 2lb.

J: James Sullivan

T: Jedd O’Keeffe

Started this year with a second at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February but he's lost his way in last three starts including a heavy defeat here (7f, good) in May; resumes off a reduced mark but he needs a big turnaround with blinkers added.

Has a better strike-rate on the AW and his last turf win was over two years ago; finished well when runner-up at Catterick (5f, good) in May but he's been quiet since and reared at the start when down the field at Ayr last time; others preferred.

Victory Sound

Verdict

Liquid Cooled and Asadjumeirah (second choice) should be in the thick of it but DREAM FOREVER dug deep to win at Carlisle two weeks ago and he could have more to offer in the blinkers.[Paul Smith]
