A very trappy Class 3 handicap to kick-off the most prestigious day of the year at Beverley, with the majority of those declared almost certainly capable of winning this race at their best. Alas, we seek to narrow down the options and the pair to concentrate upon could be Rebecca Bastiman's new and emerging stable star Elerfaan and the battle hardened top-weight LOVE DREAMS. The selection doesn't win as often as he deserves, but could profit from a slight ease in grade after going extremely close at Epsom (7f) on Oaks day.
