A decent handicap here and it is We Have A Dream who is fancied ahead of recent winners Dunn'o and Restless Genius amongst others. Although slightly out of the handicap, the selection seems to have turned a corner since returning to the track as a three-year-old. Another winter on his back has evidently done this colt some good and with underfoot conditions likely to be ideal, Willie Muir's colt is fancied to oblige. Oasis Wind has claims despite having to give at least 5lbs to the whole field; he is unexposed after just six runs and is sure to have benefited physically from his recent run but he was a disappointing odds-on favourite that day. Calmdownmate's recent run should have put him spot on, and there was certainly no disgrace on that reappearance. C'Mon You Irons drops in class today, and may not be badly treated off this mark of 82, however that is guesswork and at this stage of his career he is all speed. Restless Genius dotted up in a poor race recently but has much more on the plate today, as does Dunn'o, but he is well-related and open to plenty of improvement this season. At a price Royal Intruder could go well, however it is We Have A Dream who is the nomination.
