Although very small fields can produce surprise results, Hope's Wishes hasn't shown enough to suggest she can join the list. Andi'Amu was progressing nicely at the backend of last year and landed a maiden over this trip on soft ground at Market Rasen. He will have needed his comeback run at Stratford last month but the concession of 10lb, including Micheal Nolan's claim, to DINO MITE looks beyond him. Jamie Snowden's four-year-old has won twice here in recent weeks and was impressive over the trip on good ground last time.
