LIVE YOUR DREAM completed a Newcastle double when returning to action in April before stepping up to 1m4f at York and chasing home Spanish Kiss. Providing he stays the extra, he should return to winning ways but any lack of stamina could hand the initiative to winning bumper Cloud Thunder, who just failed to get up over the track and trip before running in a much stronger race at York. Margaret Dumont scored over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford and was well supported for a Doncaster handicap but finished tailed off with the very fast ground being offered as the reason for the poor display.
