Former smart bumper performer A DREAM TO SHARE was brought down at the first flight at Fairyhouse last month and, granted better luck this time, he could be the answer over this new trip. Having put in a good shift when second at Navan recently, Theflyingbee is feared greatly and Sommesky, who acquitted himself well in a listed handicap last time, is also accorded plenty of respect. San Hilario is another who could have a say in the finish.
