OLYMPIC DREAM has improved for racing on Fibresand and returned to winning ways over C&D last month. Only 2lb higher today, there may be a bit more improvement to come on this surface. He is just preferred to Feet Of Fury, who ran well on his debut here when runner-up to Watch Chain over the C&D in November. Lethal is back on a winning mark but will need to step up on his recent efforts and the same comment applies to Toby Tyler, who gets first-time blinkers to aid his cause. The unexposed Spirit Of Dixie was well beaten on his debut here and may be best watched for now.
