Forecasts

Love Dreams (5/6), Seas Of Elzaam (13/8), Doc Sportello (7/1), Open Mystery (50/1), Miss Mawatheeq (150/1)

LOVE DREAMS performed with credit in a much stronger race than this on last month's reappearance and can make the most of this drop to selling company. The claimer Seas of Elzaam won on Wednesday fell apart but he could do no more than win easily and he's second choice.
