Formscan  - WALKING ON A DREAM made a pleasing start when finishing runner-up over C&D in October and this appears to represent an excellent opportunity for Lucinda Russell's gelding to go one better. Famous Liss is capable of being in the mix judged on his novice form last summer. The return to 2m may well be another positive, while Glenville appeals as the type to improve on his first attempt over hurdles.
