An interesting contest which may go the way of I Have Dreamed. Qrackers, Poliglotti and Jardin De Vienne are the obvious dangers but don't rule out Pascha Bere. A useful performer on the level, I Have Dreamed made a taking start to his new career when running out an impressive winner at Taunton. The prevailing heavy ground at Huntingdon may have contributed to his defeat as much as his penalty and, with conditions drying out, he can resume winning ways here. Poliglotti was just over 3 lengths behind that day when having his first outing in over a year. He's entitled to come on for the run and clearly has to be feared. Jardin De Vienne wasn't beaten far behind Blue Bajan last time but Qrackers hasn't really gone on in two starts since chasing home Franchoek on debut. Pascha Bere was well beaten on his hurdling bow in December but is of interest on his French Flat form and has to enter calculations with his stable going well. Keep an eye on him in the betting but we'll take I Have Dreamed to land the honours.
