Making Dreams has won three of her last four, including the latest over this trip at Thirsk. Elemental Eye placed over 7f here before a beaten favourite over a mile at Hamilton while Keep Warm was hampered leaving the stalls when on a hat-trick at York where he still finished ahead of Gamraan. Mister Daydream made a winning start in handicaps at Bath and Thirsk winner Sailthisshipalone has improved with every run but CITY BURGLAR has come up against potentially-useful performers in his last two starts and can defy top weight having a first run in a nursery.
