Love Dreams was placed yet again when second here last month and Espresso Freddo is usually thereabouts without winning. Green Power won here before beaten off today’s higher mark but has something to find with Kondratiev Wave on collateral form. Mostawaa won this off a similar mark last year and will be sharper for a recent comeback but GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI (NAP) was upped in class last time and gets the vote on his earlier second in this grade at Chelmsford.
