Aintree My Dream made a winning debut for new connections in a Class 3 handicap at Stratford but couldn't cope when stepped up a grade at Haydock. He has a penalty to carry which could hand the initiative to chasing newcomer WILLIAM OF ORANGE. Five times a winner over hurdles where he's rated 137, he won over 2m6f here in July and if he jumps round safely can outclass these. Deyrann de Carjac is also making his chasing bow and has some smart form in novice company over the smaller obstacles though he's rated 10lb behind the selection.
