Dream Of Mischief¹³

Weight: 9-4| Age: 3

T: Mrs A J Perrett J: K Shoemark

Forecasts

Azahara Palace (11/4), Cabinet Of Clowns (10/3), My Ambition (4/1), King Of Scotia (9/2), Dream Of Mischief (5/1), Sea Eagle (9/1), Repertoire (10/1), Night Arc (11/1), Merry Minister (80/1), Cash Out (80/1)

A few with chances but DREAM OF MISCHIEF scored over C&D in July and signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising Lingfield third last time out. Three-time 2023 scorer Azahara Palace appeals as the one to give Amanda Perrett's 3-y-o most to do, although in-form duo Cabinet of Clowns and King of Scotia warrant plenty of respect too.
