Triple Dream finished just ahead of his better fancied stablemate Island Legend over C&D a week ago. The latter re-opposes on more favourable terms here and both should be in the mix once again given Captain Scooby and Estonia look unlikely to reverse running, but a chance is taken on FAIR PASSION. August's C&D winner returned to action with a third at Southwell earlier this month and Derek Shaw's mare looks to have every chance with that run under her belt. Novabridge scored at Wolverhampton recently but was a disappointing favourite off a 6lb higher mark back at the same track last time.
