A wide-open handicap but DAYDREAM AULMES is in such a rich vein of form that we are loathe to desert Graeme McPherson’s charge in his hat-trick bid. Other recent winners Black Buble and Discay should be thereabouts again and Volpone Jelois just came up short over 2m at Newbury having been given plenty to do. Ey Up Rocky is getting closer while San Pedro De Senam is 2lb better off with the selection than when runner-up here on Boxing Day. Wind Place And Sho doesn’t have many blemishes on his recent record and Here's Herbie arrives off the back of a victory at Taunton but Schnabel will probably need this.
