By Scorpion out of a Lando mare. Interesting on breeding, but will probably need her debut run.

Forecasts

Theatre Dreams (3/1), Act In Time (10/3), Line Out (4/1), Asangy (9/2), Pateen (10/1), Shalaman (12/1), Iusetaluvheronce (14/1), No Secrets Here (25/1), Ned's Indian (25/1), Celebrity Status (33/1), Toor General (33/1), Creepy Crawly (33/1), Nineteensixteen (50/1), Shine In Dubai (66/1)

Lots of these have plenty to prove, but THEATRE DREAMS has shown promise on each start and can get off the mark. Act In Time has also displayed distinct signs of ability, while Asangy's hurdling debut was too bad to be true and he can do much better.
