    Verdict

    Definite Dream won a bumper in Ireland but never scored over hurdles before switching to fences. He's won three times over the bigger obstacles and though pulled up in the Red Rum Handicap at Aintree last time he should lose his maiden tag over timber soon. Sindarban finished second in all of his three races on the Flat in Ireland and though showing little over timber so far there should be more to come. DYNAMO, who had one run for Aidan O'Brien, may have won at Plumpton but for a bad mistake at the second last. He wouldn't have been sent all this way unless connections believe he's capable of winning and looks the one to be on with progress guaranteed.
