It is hard to see beyond KINGSMERE here. Henry Daly's representative finished a very good second to Domtaline at Stratford last month and he will be very hard to beat here providing he puts in a clear round of jumping. Dodgey Dream is not the most consistent but on his best form he could be the one to ask most questions of the selection. Mystified makes most appeal of the remainder.
