Verdict

CALCUTTA DREAM won a minor event over C&D in January and shaped best when collared late on at Wolverhampton last time, so in spite of a disadvantageous draw in stall 10, gets the nod to make amends for last month's unfortunate defeat. Elterwater has shaped encouragingly under aggressive rides on her last 2 outings and the suspicion remains there's a bigger effort in her.
