Verdict
Pee Jay's Dream, Treaty Flyer and Archie Babe make the shortlist here and Pee Jay's Dream is the selection. Never out the frame in six starts over hurdles, Pee Jay's Dream won twice last season, and he should be fitter after his first run for seven months when finishing third at big odds. He should be suited to this longer trip. Treaty Flyer was having his first run for 11 months when running well for a long way at Folkestone last month. The runner up has won since so the form looks solid. Winner of a Wetherby handicap hurdle off the same mark a year ago, Archie Babe was well beaten in a claiming hurdle last time and he seems to be on a downward curve. Pee Jay's Dream can prevent his supporters having any sleepless nights.
