WISHFULL DREAMING (NAP) is a full brother to the stable's multiple Grade 2-winning chaser Wishfull Thinking, who also won three times over hurdles. He won a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in January and should make a winning start to his career over timber before going on to better things. Basilic D'alene was second in a Taunton bumper last season and is another with scope while Bekkensfirth and Mixboy have already hinted at ability. All In Favour's dam was a stayer, however, so he may find this too short.
