Dreamwalk and FIVE OUT OF FIVE both come here after winning last time out and it is the latter we side with given the more impressive nature of his victory, whilst Admiral Dundas will hope to get the better of the first named having finished second behind Dreamwalk over course and distance earlier this month. The selection beat Red Twist by twelve lengths last time out and has shown progressive development in his jumping this year. Although he could do with slightly further in trip, Evan Williams' runner has every chance of following up on his success at Newton Abbot. The trainer and jockey won this race together last year and could be about to repeat it today. Dreamwalk is a clear threat to the pick having enjoyed a decent win last time against Admiral Dundas. They both run here and with a 10lb reversal in the weights they may finish close to each other. However we go for Five Out Of Five.
