Stamina is the forte of HOBB'S DREAM, who stayed on late over hurdles at Exeter last time. She's arguably better treated over fences at present and should get back to winning ways if her jumping holds up. The Clyda Rover, successful over C&D on soft ground 12 days ago when Venetian Lad was only fifth, looks the danger as Chris Davies' claim negates the 7lb weight rise. Monty's Revenge was engaged over hurdles yesterday but Might As Well attracted market support at Chepstow last time. He was, however, well behind the selection at Wincanton earlier.
