        Verdict

        King of Dreams was due to run at Yarmouth yesterday but PURPLE ROCK missed Thursday’s engagement at Haydock on account of the ground. The latter was narrowly beaten over track and trip last week and is taken to go one better today. Pass The Cristal showed signs of a resurgence with a recent close-up fourth at Wolverhampton while Buckland Beau can figure with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Coverham’s earlier double at Kempton came over 7f but he stays this far and is another to consider.
