Dream Number has been on a improving run of form and racing off the same mark as when finding just the one too good last time gives him a clear chance if improving again. Ellen Vannin was cosy enough in success last time to suggest a big run from a revised mark but much of her chance depends on a run at Brighton on Tuesday. Watch Chain would enter calculations based on his win three starts back but he hasn't matched that since so a chance will be taken with ELSIE'S ORPHAN. Based on her second career start she is well treated on handicap debut off a mark of 61 with a horse in behind her that day that has gone on to place off 82 plus another that has won of marks in the mid sixties and she seemed to retain all of her ability in a nice return run this term.
