Drawn on the rails, STATUE OF DREAMS looks the one to be on despite not winning for over a year. He was racing off a 20lb higher mark a year ago and his last couple of runs have suggest a return to winning ways is imminent. Amour Fou has more scope than any of these and has a C&D success to her credit. Johnny Murtagh has been booked for her reappearance and she looks certain to go well despite her long absence. Thats A Fret usually does his best but he's not well drawn on the outside even in this relatively small field while Geraldines Lass gained her two victories on very fast ground last summer.
