Verdict

It’s almost six years since Relentless Dreamer last ran over hurdles but Thibault has won three times since joining Adam West. MINT CONDITION has also had a good season and, though 11lb higher than when winning at Wetherby over Christmas, has his sights lowered and shouldn’t be far away. Winningseverything and Nickolson have been very lightly raced but the former may just need this. Wilde About Oscar won a Listed race at Exeter last month and has also won around here. However, he could struggle to get home over this trip on soft ground under a big weight. Gustavian has never finished out of the first two so can’t be ignored and looks better treated than Taunton winner Rockadenn. Illegal Model has run well here before but seems best over 3m.
