Harry The Norseman has become disappointing but Be Fair could be interesting back on the Flat. KITTEN’S DREAM is 4lb better off than when a length-and-a-half behind Prince Abu over course and distance last week and 5lb better off than when only a length behind Funky Town Pinkie here in September and Scott Dixon’s gelding can take his revenge on both. Owens Lad has shown signs of life after a lay-off and looks best of the rest.
