DREAMS OF GLORY won three times at this track last year. Finally back on a winning mark, he was beaten less than a length over 5f here earlier this month and looks set for a return to winning ways. Jawim, Steel Rain and Spic 'n Span were all behind the selection last time so Portrush Storm makes more appeal if forgiven her latest poor run on the Polytrack. Sally's Swansong scored twice on the Polytrack last month and could make the frame off a 4lb higher mark in this.
