I HAVE DREAMED should have too much class for King Edmund and She's Humble. Gary Moore has been notably cautious about allowing this horse to take his chance under testing conditions but his second to Nomcheki is the best form on offer and if taking his chances today, he will be short odds to go one better. King Edmund has to give away a penalty all around. A winner of two chases thus far; we would have been much better off were this a handicap. She's Humble is a regular in races of this nature and is likely to pick up some more prize money. Beware Chalk Pit has started off at triple figure odds on his recent starts and looks thoroughly outclassed again today. I Have Dreamed will struggle to secure an easier opportunity to score than this.
