Cabrakan showed potential last season and was staying on over a mile at Windsor last week. OUTSMART was very consistent in his first campaign and was well supported when scoring over a mile at Newcastle where he stayed on strongly. The longer trip shouldn't be a problem and he can go in again. Haunted Dream has won over the trip at Chelmsford though is now 10lb higher but Sweet Madness ended last season with victories in minor handicaps at Redcar and Nottingham under Gemma Tutty, who has taken over the training. Cabinet Maker looks the type to improve this season and makes his handicap debut.
