BLUE SHARK took a big step forward when opening his account at Ffos Las last month and with that form working out well he looks capable of defying a 4 lb higher mark. Halcyon Dreams is also weighted to have a say in her bid for a breakthrough success, with Azza worth a second look too now reverted to hurdles after an unsuccessful stint chasing.
