      Verdict

      COLONIAL DREAMS came good over hurdles when winning a maiden at Ascot last month. Nicky Henderson’s charge looks a cut above these on that form and can defy a penalty. Tayzar was runner-up over a shorter trip here on his penultimate start but struggled at Doncaster last time while bumper winner Infinite Sun faded badly in the closing stages over these obstacles on his hurdling debut and may do better today. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder.
