DREAM WITH ME is proving a stronger horse this year having won on the all-weather on his return to action and scoring over track and trip last time. The runner-up has subsequently won and Mark Johnston’s charge gets the vote on that form. Ayr Poet won at Musselburgh recently though is upped in class and raised 6lb but Anythingtoday is not badly treated on last year’s best form and finished closer at Newcastle last time. Home Before Dusk has yet to win on Turf and Society Red is preferred.
