This looks a slightly stronger race than the seller Miss Adventure won at Stratford last month. Wishfull Dreaming appears to be going rapidly downhill and Olly Murphy now reaches for the blinkers given he has shown little improvement in a tongue-tie or cheekpieces since joining the yard. Trafalgar Rock has barely raised a gallop in four runs for Alex Dunn so this looks best left to OLD SALT, who won at Ffos Las last month but has changed stables since.
