      Verdict

      Doc Sportello has been winning plating races but meets tougher opposition in this including Seas Of Elzaam. The latter won a claimer at Catterick last week and has won on Tapeta before but LOVE DREAMS also has every chance at the weights. Michael Blake’s charge finished third in a handicap at Kempton on his first start since October and faces an easier task in this company. Open Mystery and Miss Mawatheeq look up against it on these terms.
