      Verdict

      Salateen has a chance on his earlier third at York but Love Dreams has been raised 9lb after scoring in soft ground over course and distance a fortnight ago. Horsted Keynes and Georgian Bay are both recent winners but upped in class for this while Normandy Barriere has done all his winning over 6f so far. REALIZE ran below par in soft ground at Newbury on his latest start but had landed a double in good style with a victory at Bath before that and David Simcock’s charge gets a chance to bounce back in this.
