Quite a few of these are struggling off their marks in handicaps hence running them here in a claimer appears to be a good move. Two of the likely leading protagonists in Michele Strogoff and Gabrial’s Kaka are drawn rather wide and that tempers enthusiasm for their chances. Al Khan is a solid sort in this grade while Outer Space is of interest back over 7f and a few may be keen to give Strong Steps one last chance as he drops in grade. This does look a good chance though for DREAM WALKER to regain the winning thread despite running poorly this year this is a huge drop in class from his last run and he is very well-in at the weights here.
