Made it 3-3 (won point on debut) with no-nonsense victory at Carlisle (17f) last month, making all and staying on well. Looks a bright prospect and good chance under double penalty.

Had won 5 (bumper/on the Flat) before opening account on hurdles debut at Sedgefield in October. Should strip fitter for jumpers' bumper run last month but might need a stiffer test back in this code.

Showed a bit to think he's not a complete lost cause on his first start for 34 months for another new yard here (20.3f) recently, though would be more appealing in handicaps.

Pulled up in 2 points but showed clear signs of ability on his Rules debut at Kelso (2m) last month, paying for briefly going toe to toe with the exciting winner. Hood goes on. Should progress.

Showed some promise sole outing in bumpers, but not so much on debut in this sphere at Market Rasen in November.

Has looked a work in progress in bumper/2 novice hurdles in Scotland. All over a stayer for the future.

6/1
Irish point winner better than the result in bumpers and off the mark over hurdles fitted with tongue tie in thin C&D novice 3 weeks ago, making all. More needed, but could be up to it.

Down the field in Ayr novice hurdles 4 months apart. Handicaps and/or fences should see him to better advantage further down the line.

Forecasts

Dreams Of Home (2/5), Stormin Norman (4/1), Robin Des Theatre (6/1), Any Job Will Do (16/1), Balkalin (25/1), Shaka The King (25/1), Coolkill (28/1), East Harlem (28/1), Legal Beagle (40/1), Famous Moment (50/1), Let There Be Love (100/1), Sir Apollo (100/1), Monchique's Lass (300/1)

Verdict

DREAMS OF HOME is a bright prospect and can remain unbeaten having easily seen off a subsequent winner at Carlisle last month. C&D winner Robin des Theatre could be the main danger ahead of Stormin Norman.
