BA DREAMFLIGHT has been in great form of late and is the form pick to win again with both Kangrina and Dazzling Begum others to note. The selection won at Great Leighs in October and ran well over course and distance to finish second off a four pound higher mark. That proved he is more than able to win races off his current mark and with luck in running he will not be far away. Kangrina runs off the same mark as he did when catching the eye at Wolverhampton last time out. He was not beaten far finishing second to course specialist Little Richard that day and he is more than capable of being in the shake up once again. Dazzling Begum is relatively unexposed and could still be improving. He ran well on his latest outing when third of twelve at Lingfield and looks handicapped to win a race of this nature in time. However for the winner we return to Ba Dreamflight.
