Looks to have been hard to train with just eight runs now aged 11, notched first success since bumper on debut when scoring at Southwell (3m, soft) 10 days ago and interesting if turned out quickly under penalty.

9/2
Teenager enjoying a ripe old time of things, with figures of 2211 since November. C&D winner early last month, followed up here over shorter since and wouldn't want to dismiss under latest rise.

Made it three from three since joining this yard with another facile success at Huntingdon yesterday, remains in excellent heart clearly and big player if turned out again.

A 26-race maiden, he was runner-up over C&D last month behind How's My Friend and was unsurprisingly outclassed in much better Sandown contest since. Back in a more reasonable grade now, place claims.

Not managed to complete in three starts of late, unseating very early over this C&D last month either side of being pulled up at Ffos Las and Uttoxeter. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Losing run dates back to December 2013 and his last three runs have seen a deterioration in form following an encouraging return on Boxing Day at Huntingdon.

Forecasts

Alberto's Dream (10/11), Call Carlo (9/4), How's My Friend (9/2), Bobonyx (14/1), Try It Sometime (33/1), Over My Head (50/1)

Verdict

Alberto's Dream is thriving for trainer Tom Lacey and had no problems making it three from three at Huntingdon yesterday. He should continue to go well if turned out again quickly. The teenager HOW'S MY FRIEND has been also been flying of late, with two wins at the track, including over this trip, last month. He's up another 3lb but is respected again. Call Carlo has had his issues bot scored recently at Southwell and Venetia Williams' charge is also in the mix.
