A superb contest in prospect with a number coming here on the back of impressive wins, not least DREAM AHEAD. It was impossible not be taken with his nine-length Nottingham success and this step up by a furlong plus the likelihood of cut in the ground makes him the most appealing runner. Biondetti has it to prove on the ground but that aside he looked good on debut when taking a decent Newmarket maiden and paddock inspection is advisable. Waiter's Dream represents an in-form yard and was better-than-average at Newbury, though quicker ground would be preferable. Silvertrees will handle conditions and could go well at a price but a bigger danger will surely be easy Naas winner Lake Ontario, who is much respected. A fascinating race can go to Dream Ahead.
