Colonial Dreams has been supported in his races but his jumping let him down latest at Sandown. He'll have wins in him, but that fall isn't heartening. Indirocco, a half-brother to Irving, has been absent a long while but any money in his favour would be noted today. Irish point-to-point winner SUNSET SHOWDOWN may be able to go a place better than his Hereford run in January in what isn't the strongest contest.
