Verdict

Front-runner Love Dreams is in form but has a terrible draw. Sha La La La Lee has fared better in that respect and is fit from the all-weather. Several of these ran in the Haydock race won by Safe Voyage with Ptarmigan Ridge faring best, though Cold Stare looked as though he’d benefit from the outing and Shady Mccoy also has a chance of reversing the form. Arcanada is rated 13lb lower on Turf than the all-weather but there is likely to be plenty of opposition for the lead and he’s not particularly well drawn. Last year’s winner BARAWEEZ has plenty in his favour again from stall three. He had a pipe-opener at Thirsk last Saturday and is only 2lb higher than 12 months ago. Mazyoun was only ninth last year but is better drawn this time and 7lb lower so could reward each-way interest.
