Verdict

It was soft ground when Broadway Dreams showed a big improvement at Hamilton while only a length separated third-placed Fire Leopard and Roddy at Redcar recently. But LOVE CONQUERS was expected to finish much closer at Wetherby last time and she didn’t disappoint when finding only one too good. She gets the nod with the Godolphin newcomer Walton Street, a half-brother to winners in Australia, worth a second glance in the betting.
