Thismydream has now had 21 starts without winning but wasn't beaten far on his first start since wind surgery here on New Year's Eve. Daring Destiny was a 150/1 chance when running a cracking race on her belated debut at Chelmsford last week and normal progress can see her in the frame. AL MUZN has a very speedy pedigree and will have derived considerable benefit from his debut here in November where he looked in need of the run. He can take this though More Than A Grey produced a fair run at Newbury in July but Rabaah, a half-brother to two 6f winners, has been absent since a moderate debut at Leicester in May. Hawajes cost 125,000gns and is related to a couple of all-weather winners so is a newcomer to note.
