EARCOMESTHEDREAM arrived in similar poor form when winning this last year off a 10lb higher mark and Peter Pritchard’s veteran could stage a repeat. Ultimate Dream has been disappointing but can’t get much lower in the weights. In a poor race, a market move for the returning Amberjam would be significant and Samson and Guiting Power are others capable of figuring if on a going day.
