Habitual front-runner Love Dreams will do well to get to the front from stall 10 but the returning Nobleman's Nest could be a factor if the ground rides faster than forecast while War Glory arrives in good form. Corazon Espinado likes it here and so does Hateya while there are possibilities about Shady Mccoy but Hayley Turner’s mount RIPP ORF has twice run well in better races this term and has been dropped a further pound since his fifth in the Victoria Cup at Ascot so can open his account for the season.
