Future Security ended last year with a win at Redcar and makes his handicap debut on his reappearance. The Godolphin colt may well figure but DREAMS OF FIRE makes more appeal. She won her maiden at Kempton in October and began this season in the Cheshire Oaks at Chester where she was tailed off in testing ground. She should be a different proposition today and is preferred to recent Doncaster runner-up Instrumentalist, who had Good Of Luck behind at the Yorkshire track last week and can race off a lower mark today. Drummond and Alvitude both need to take a step forward if they're to figure.
