Any number to consider but BEYOND YOUR DREAMS gave a very good account of himself in the Fred Winter and very much looks ready for this increased emphasis in stamina. Howdoyalikeherhome also has a bigger performance in him, while the assessor may have taken a chance with Ballysax Hank's opening mark.
