Verdict

A big field for this apprentices’ handicap but the consistent Love Dreams and May Night should be thereabouts again if handling the ground. He's Our Star hasn’t been beaten far in four starts since winning at Brighton in August but JOHN CLARE is a pound lower than when taking this 12 months ago on heavy going and a repeat may be on the cards as he has again shown a liking for an easy surface this year. Fast ground was against Foxy Femme when on a hat-trick at Chepstow while a case can also be made for Onaraggatip and Chateau D'if.
