RIVER OF DREAMS (NAP) attempted to make all over a mile here recently. Kevin Ryan's charge was caught in the final furlong but may hang on this time over the shorter trip. Street Force was a well-beaten third at the track during the week and has to give plenty of weight to the three-year-olds including Fibresand debutant Sands Chorus. High Baroque cost plenty and makes more appeal than Maizin of the newcomers.
