We Have A Dream had some smart juvenile form in nurseries towards the end last years turf campaign and while his state of fitness would be a concern against those who have been performing on the all-weather, Willie Muirs' charge is our selection. What Katie Kid and Seductive Witch are the obvious dangers in a competitive heat. We Have A Dream appeared to improve for each outing last season and finished off with a hard fought victory at Nottingham, the third in that contest having since won very easily off a mark of 72. Theoretically he could be well treated and expect to see him even more effective over 7f as the turf season progresses and he strengthens up. What Katie Did appeared to set the race up for his rivals at Lingfield last time. It is possibly he might not have the same amount of improvement in him as the selection while the 6f distance may just be on the sharp side. Seductive Witch has fitness on his side and was out pointed by a five furlong specialist in Orpen's Art on her most recent outings. She was a winner on her two previous outings over six furlongs but has edged up the ratings as a consequence. On his seasonal debut We Have A Dream is our pick to get off the mark for the season.
