Lisa Williamson sets a poser here by saddling three of the seven runners, with Colliers Court probably the pick of the trio but the vote goes to Romany Dream with Force Twelve rated the best of the remainder. The selection has shown improved in his last two starts and should not be inconvenienced by the drop in trip. Robin Dickin's mare rates a better bet than Colliers Court, who was a faller behind the useful East Tycoon last time and may not be the safest of conveyances. Stablemate Alpha Image has claims on the form shown when second in a similar contest at Cartmel last month but had given little sign of encouragement prior to that effort and it remains to be seen whether he can reproduce the form. Top of The Dee, a second fence faller in that Cartmel race, looks the third string of the Williamson runners and of more interest may be Peter Hedger's Force Twelve, who looks to be going the right way and has the assistance of Mick Fitzgerald. Romany Dream has an obvious chance on recent form though and he gets the vote to gain a first success over fences.
