Verdict

In some ways it's disappointing to see LOVE DREAMS (NAP) drop into this grade but he's really well suited by race conditions and is well clear on official ratings. He really should prove good enough to land this claimer after performing creditably at a much higher level this term. Tukhoom is the obvious danger after landing a Beverley claimer last month on the back of a series of very consistent efforts throughout the campaign. He retains his form admirably at or around this trip. Last month's Deauville winner, Plunger, also takes a drop in class and is worth a place on the shortlist.
