Ran well when beaten 1L on his penultimate outing in a valuable 7f contest at York (good-to-firm) in June. Respectable effort in a Listed contest subsequently and one for the shortlist here.

Victorious over 6f at Ascot (good-to-firm) in May but disappointing in two starts in valuable 6f contests since. Has placed over this trip in the past.

10/11
Winner of three of his five starts to date including over C&D on soft ground last time out. Has to defy a 9lb rise for that success but remains open to progression and likely to run well again here.

Successful on his penultimate outing over 7f at Yarmouth (good) in June. Ran well when finishing third on the AW at Newcastle last week and races off the same mark here.

Ran well over C&D on good ground when wearing a hood (retained since) for the first time last month. Well held at Ascot last week and more needed from out of the handicap today.

Forecasts

Love Dreams (10/11), Salateen (3/1), Horsted Keynes (6/1), Georgian Bay (13/2), Normandy Barriere (8/1), Realize (10/1), Swift Approval (16/1)

Verdict

LOVE DREAMS ran out the impressive winner of a handicap over this C&D last time out and the progressive three-year-old can record a fourth victory by taking this contest. The selection is likely to race close to the pace here and can get the better of Realize who proved a disappointment on soft ground last time out while Horsted Keynes, third on the AW off this mark last week is taken to finish third.
