Comment: Got off the mark over hurdles in maiden at Market Rasen (2m4f) in July and not discredited when third of six in 2m4f novice there 39 days ago; this fair Flat scorer holds leading form claims; visor replaces blinkers.

Comment: Son of My Dream Boat went 2-2 in bumpers at Kelso and Market Rasen but he failed to land the odds on his hurdling debut when third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m) 33 days ago; he may still do better in this sphere so needs considering.
