Verdict
HARRY HANDSOME had the form of his latest narrow defeat by Stanley Bridge at Wetherby boosted by last week's victory of the winner Stanley Bridge. He's up 3lb but should get of the mark here. Sambelucky won over hurdles in December but has been well beaten in subsequent starts over fences and Red Dynamite is better over further. Stuff Of Dreams hasn't shown much for a long time despite dropping markedly in the weights but Mister Bloom ran his best race to date over fences here earlier this month and wouldn't need to improve much to take a hand.
