Absolute Dream was only beaten a length over this trip at Thirsk last time and Cassy O is well treated on the pick of his form. Jack Daniel won on soft going at Thirsk and has been lightly raced while the three-year-old Leadenhall is having only his fifth career start and second run in a handicap. BIRD OF PLAY was still showing signs of inexperience at Leicester after scoring over 7f at Haydock and there may be more to come over this extra furlong.
