Useful handicapper for David Loughnane and all the better for yard debut/return when close third at Windsor last week, nearest finish. Tongue strap back on. Has to be taken seriously.

Forecasts

Electric Love (16/5), Kool Moe Dee (9/2), Leodis Dream (5/1), Son And Sannie (6/1), Peerless (15/2), Show Me Show Me (10/1), Shamshon (10/1), The Princes Poet (12/1), Saaheq (12/1), Grandfather Tom (40/1), Centurion Song (50/1)

LEODIS DREAM proved all the better for his return/yard debut when a close third at Windsor last week and looks ready to strike. Son And Sannie came back to form when only just failing at York and remains on a fair mark, so rates the main threat, with improving 3-y-os Electric Love and Peerless also considered.
