        Verdict

        Despite having to concede weight all round, Book Of Dreams can go well as it was heavy ground when he made a winning start at Nottingham. Ripon winner Dorcas has the worst of the draw and AYUTTHAYA had the remainder well beaten when runner-up to subsequent Group 3 winner Elarqam at York. Kevin Ryan's colt will be difficult to beat on that form but Gabrial The Saint gave notice of an imminent victory when just failing to catch Shaya on heavy ground here and, with an extra furlong to travel, will make a race of it. Zabaletaswansong hasn't done much wrong but is well exposed while This Girl was due to run at Haydock yesterday.
