Breezy Kin won over fences at Stratford in September but that remains his only win so far under Rules. Bertie Lugg won a three-runner race at Southwell in March but then only beat one home when favourite at Wetherby. At 13, EARCOMESTHEDREAM is still two years younger than stable companion Tisfreetdream and Archie Bellamy's mount is only 3lb higher than when taking this last year by a country mile. We'll take a chance that a return to familiar territory will initiate a revival.
