An interesting renewal with a mix of lightly raced and improving types taking on more established and proven performers. Love Everlasting falls in to the latter category and this tough filly will take plenty of beating with ground conditions to suit. Mark Johnston's charge had several of these behind (including Bright And Clear and Frosty Welcome) when landing a Listed contest over 12f at Newbury last month. The daughter of Pursuit Of Love was understandably outclassed in the Yorkshire Oaks but will appreciate the step up in trip and the level of opposition on this occasion. Alexander Three D looks best of the Classic generation after securing a Listed success at York last time but still has somethintg to prove at this level and looks worth opposing at likely cramped odds.
