DREAM FALCON is taken to gain victory with both Waterspray and Glengarra worth noting in the betting market. The selection was at one point in his career rated as high as 129 and competing in top quality races. He then hit a barren spell and dropped dramatically in the ratings and was able to win off a mark of 100 last season. He was back in the winners enclosure at Taunton on his penultimate run only to run below par at Fontwell last time out off a two pound higher mark. Conditions should be back in his favour and as this looks like an easier opportunity for him he is sure to be in the shake up come the business end of the race. Waterspray always runs his heart out. He has however been winless for eighteen months now and is becoming a frustrating horse to follow, but he does have solid each way claims. Glengarra won a selling chase at Plumton after falling down the ratings but was quickly raised twelve pounds for his troubles and was unable to cope with that rise at Uttoxeter last time out so is best watched for the time being. Dream Falcon ticks more boxes than most of his rivals and is given the strong vote to land himself in the winners enclosure once again.
