BAY DREAM BELIEVER justified good support when resuming winning ways at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and a 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent her making a bold bid to supplement her victory in this contest 12 months ago. The refitting of a visor can see Young Fire in a better light and he's feared along with Light Up Our Stars. Infantry Officer shouldn't be dismissed lightly, either.
