Form: 0-414

Dreamz^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr P Byrnes| T: B Nolan

80/1

Dream Ahead filly. Half-sister to useful 11f-12.4f winner Lexington Law. Dam dual bumper winner. Wears hood. Gets the allowance but some effort if she were to start out with a win in this.

Form:

Forecasts

Grangee (5/6), Manisanda (6/1), Choice Of Words (9/1), Mollys Glory (10/1), Hollymount (10/1), Glan (11/1), Mi Lighthouse (18/1), Powerful Out (20/1), Condesa (28/1), Broomfield Hall (40/1), Dreamz (80/1), Raven Rule (100/1), Glory For Molly (200/1), Joyful Kit (250/1)

GLAN will go on progressing and can get the hat-trick up having easily won a C&D event from Powerful Out when last seen. Grangee, nearest at the finish in sixth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, is the obvious danger. At a bigger price, Manisanda could reward each-way backers.
