Dreams Of Glory won over 5f at Wolverhampton last time but has so far done all his winning over the minimum trip. Rigolleto was behind Compton Prince when the latter won at Kempton recently but re-opposes on better terms, though BRIDGE BUILDER is preferred. He won over course and distance last month and should be in the firing-line again having found life tough when stepped up to Class 4 company on his latest start. Billyoakes could also figure back over 6f today.
