        Verdict

        Love Dreams and Ower Fly ran well on their respective latest starts at Newmarket last week. Both only found one too good when attempting to make all and the former sports headgear for the first time today having failed to keep a straight line in the closing stages. But the front-running duo should set the race up nicely for the hold-up horse ELJADDAAF (NAP), who was given plenty to do at Lingfield last time but still finished ahead of Suzi's Connoisseur and is reunited with winning partner Robbie Winston today. Stablemate Lucymai is not out of this either while Via Serendipity ended last season with a victory at Newmarket and could also go well.
