WE HAVE A DREAM rattled up a five-timer last season, including two Grade 1 races. He’s find life tougher against older horses this season but has not been disgraced in Grade 2 company and should get back on track here for the champion trainer. Cornerstone Lad produced a career-best when winning a Haydock handicap in December but is rated 13lb inferior to the selection. One For Harry isn’t getting any younger and Get Out The Gate has more scope, though faces a near-impossible task on these terms.
