Dreams Fled Away (13/8), Areana (5/1), Tom The Plasterer (11/2), Glyde Ranger (13/2), Sand Castle (13/2), Alphonse Le Grande (14/1), Arctic Blaze (16/1), Wishes And Dreams (18/1), Mosaaheb (20/1), Noble Crusade (20/1), Wojood (20/1), Hi Sur Multi (22/1), Boola Boola (25/1), Epaulawn (50/1), Steps In The Sand (50/1), Gilded Moon (100/1), Chopsticks (125/1)

DREAMS FLED overcame some trouble in running to score comfortably over C&D last time and, while the handicapper has had his say, he's fancied to uphold the form with Areana, who is having her second start for her current yard. Tom The Plasterer is also of interest.
