WHAT A DREAM finished in front of his better fancied stablemate Willie Hall over course and distance last time and may be able to confirm the placings en route to landing this prize. He didn't achieve as much in bumpers but the half-brother to Lie Forrit made a very pleasing start to his career over hurdles and may be able to build on it. James Ewart has his team in good form and it will be interesting to see if there's any support for Torta Nel Cielo but he is entitled to need this after 400 days off the track. Arrow Barrow also hails from an in-form yard and should give his new connections plenty of fun, Collyns Avenue showed promise in one run last term whilst Identity Parade and Diamond D'amour represent leading yards.
