Cerveza Dinero enjoys quicker ground which he had at Limerick last month and is well enough handicapped to give a good account provided there's no more rain. Windwood Lad won a seller at Uttoxeter and is 10lb higher than when landing a Down Royal handicap in June but Harold's Cross can go well on his return to hurdling as he's on a very lenient mark and both the trip and going will suit. BANELLIE has improved out of all recognition, scoring at Downpatrick on his final start of 2011 in August then defying a year's absence to easily land a handicap there a fortnight ago. Not surprisingly he's been raised 10lb but his rider's claim is a major plus and a hat-trick beckons. Dream Champion hasn't been in the best of form but has slipped to an attractive mark as a consequence so is one to keep an eye on.
