Dream Walker is 7lb higher than when scoring at Ayr in September but handles soft ground and went close at Yarmouth off today's mark last week. He's a leading contender and is preferred to Victoire De Lyphar, who carries a double penalty having won over track and trip before scoring at Newcastle on Tuesday. Stablemates Penny Garcia and Bachotheque have form on today's surface and so does Torchlighter, though Johnny Cavagin makes more appeal on his latest second to Manchestar at Doncaster. DUBAI HILLS is better known for his exploits at Southwell but can race off a 17lb lower mark back on turf. David O'Meara's charge won off a higher rating over course and distance in 2012 and gets the nod.
