Mehmas colt who showed more than first-time up when third of 9 in 7f novice at Kempton 23 days ago. Likely to go on improving.

Has improved with each run, finishing fourth of 11 in a warm-looking handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago. That unlikely to prove his limit and he has leading claims back in maiden company.

Improved a little on debut form in a first-time tongue strap when second of 9 in novice (5/1) at Doncaster (7f, firm) 34 days ago, no match for winner. Needs more here, however.

Shaped well when a close third on debut at Kempton (1m) last November. Shade disappointing over 7f at the same track the following month but made an encouraging return in a first-time hood when third in 6-runner novice at Haydock (7f) in May. Off a further 4 months but retains potential nonetheless.

GREAT DREAM has improved with each start to date and with his latest fourth in a warm-looking handicap at Southwell unlikely to prove his limit, he's strongly fancied to open his account back in maiden company. Thaisa has been off the track since making an encouraging return at Haydock in May but retains potential all the same.
