Alberto's Dream was due to run at Huntingdon yesterday with a 14lb penalty for his facile victories at Lingfield and Leicester. If successful he would be carrying a 21lb penalty and would be conceding weight to HOW'S MY FRIEND, who is on a hat-trick. Grant Cann's veteran is in peak form having won a Southwell handicap at a slightly higher level last time though Charlie Deutsch, who has been on board for both of those victories, is claimed for the penalised Call Cargo. Venetia Williams' charge is lightly-raced for his age and made all for a comfortable victory at Southwell though a 9lb rise looks a bit harsh.
Call Carlo 9-4 (11-3) Jumped right, made all, clear before last, comfortably, won at Southwell 3m hcp (4) sft in Mar beating Cougar's Gold (11-11) by 7l, 4 ran.
How's My Friend 4-1 (11-9) Led, headed when mistake 4th, lost place 7th, closed on outside from 4 out, challenged last, led flat, stayed on, won at Towcester 2m 6f hcp (5) sft in Feb beating Onurbike (10-0) by 1 1/4l, 8 ran.

Try It Sometime (IRE) 50-1 (10-0) Mid-division, blundered 12th, weakened before 4 out, pulled up before 3 out, at Uttoxeter 3m hcp (4) hvy in Feb.
