DANCE THE DREAM pulled well clear of Togetherness in a Chester maiden in August and can be excused a subsequent run in a competitive event at Ascot. Eased a couple of pounds since, she is well drawn for a front-runner and could take some pegging back. Warp Factor, who won at Ripon in August, may benefit from another try over this longer trip but is a little exposed. So are Corpus Chorister and Pointel but Pumblechook has had just the three runs and there should also be more to come from Hestina. Maestro Mac is getting closer but the handicapper may have finally nailed Fire Jet and this may be a too competitive for Chelsea's Boy.
