THEONEWEDREAMOF can probably be forgiven a lesser run in a big-field Flat handicap at Galway last month and her recent hurdle form is very solid. Second choice is Howaya C D And E who has been runner-up twice in maiden company here this summer and looks on a workable mark for this rather belated handicap debut. Gordon Elliott's Fruit Blossom may prove best of the rest.
