In depth
Verdict
LOVE DREAMS edges this at the weights having finished ahead of Shady Mccoy when fifth in a tough optional claimer at Kempton last time. Jamie Osborne’s charge will find this easier and should confirm running. He also has the measure of Tomily on these terms but Fuwairt is not out of this back over 7f today and Mardle is fitted with headgear as he drops in class and distance. Onebaba wears blinkers for the first time and may prove best of the rest.
