Verdict
Alberto's Dream was due to run at Huntingdon yesterday with a 14lb penalty for his facile victories at Lingfield and Leicester. If successful he would be carrying a 21lb penalty and would be conceding weight to HOW'S MY FRIEND, who is on a hat-trick. Grant Cann's veteran is in peak form having won a Southwell handicap at a slightly higher level last time though Charlie Deutsch, who has been on board for both of those victories, is claimed for the penalised Call Cargo. Venetia Williams' charge is lightly-raced for his age and made all for a comfortable victory at Southwell though a 9lb rise looks a bit harsh.
