A couple of these should go well having slipped down the weights of late. Mac Gille Eoin is one and he showed signs that a return to form is imminent when fourth at this track last time. Button Moon is also on a decent mark and finished second over C&D last month. Cut Across and I See You are others with a shout in an open race but the speculative vote goes to topweight WE HAVE A DREAM, a winner in better company at Kempton in August and just 3lb higher today.
