Forecasts

Love Dreams (9/4), Gossiping (7/2), Truth Or Dare (5/1), Take The Helm (6/1), Charles Molson (8/1), Mostahel (8/1), Swift Approval (10/1), Ice Lord (12/1), Ghalib (12/1), Star Quality (14/1)

Verdict

Gossiping won last year's renewal of this race and is respected from a 4lb higher mark this time around after a return to form at the Chester meeting earlier in the month but preference is for CHARLES MOLSON. Patrick Chamings' gelding lurks on a dangerous mark here and may have needed the run on return last time out. Love Dreams ran well at York last time week and has claims if building on that for a yard with a good strike-rate here.
  1. Charles Molson
  2. Gossiping
