Decent efforts in finishing fifth on his final two starts last year including over this trip at Chelmsford in November. Gelded since and is worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Novice race winner over 6f at Wolverhampton in December and finished a good fourth upped to this trip at Newcastle the following month. Hails from a top yard and looks likely to play a leading role on turf and handicap debut.

Shown good form in both starts to date most recently when third in a 7f novice contest at Lingfield at the end of December. Switches to turf here and is of interest on handicap debut.

Successful three times on the AW as a juvenile and ran well on defeat on his first four starts this year. Visor worn when well beaten at Newmarket (6f, soft) last time out is replaced by cheekpieces worn previously stepping back up in distance.

Finished third on three of her five starts most recently when beaten 3L in a firm ground handicap over this trip at Yarmouth at the start of this month. Races off the same mark here and is of interest once more.

Forecasts

Tomorrow's Dream (3/1), Lily Like (7/2), Zulu Girl (5/1), Evening Spirit (11/2), Huwaiteb (17/2), Top Secret (9/1), Dromara King (18/1), Gleeds Girl (20/1), Speed Merchant (33/1), D Day (40/1), Wentworth Amigo (100/1)

Verdict

Trainer William Haggas can boast a 26% strike-rate (13/50) in the last fortnight and his TOMORROW'S DREAM is taken to make a winning handicap debut in this three-year-old only handicap. The selection appeared to have no issues with the trip when fourth on her latest outing and she can get the better of Dromara King who met trouble in running when fourth last time out and can claim second spot on handicap debut while fellow handicap debutant Evening Spirit can take third on her first start as a three-year-old.
