DREAM LODGE sets the clear standard in this claimer and with terms in his favour he should return to winning ways. Richard Fahey's runner has reached a rating off 100 having been tried in Group Races this term so with both of his all-weather scores coming here he looks to have big claims not dropped into this class. Mastership, Ahlawy and Cyflymder are all rated in the 80's so if they can run up to their ratings will be in the mix while any market support for Avisio would put that high on the list. Cobo Bay isn't weighted out of a challenge and ran well in defeat last time but this should go to the top rated Dream Lodge.
