20/1

Two wins from 5 runs last year. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 47 days ago, making his effort earlier than ideal, the outing possibly needed as well. Headgear applied.

HAUNTED DREAM took another step forward when pulling clear with another progressive sort when runner-up at Newmarket on Thursday and has obvious claims off the same mark if this doesn't come too soon. Franz still looked very green when runner-up at Redcar on return and remains with plenty of potential now handicapping with his debut win working out well.
