4/1
4lb higher than at the time of his last win, though was slightly disappointing at Epsom last time out having been sent off a short priced favourite. Trip and ground both fine and is reunited with a leading jockey.

10/1
Outclassed in a Listed race last time following two fair runs in maidens. Makes her handicap debut here but this opening mark seems likely to prove too high, though she could improve further given how lightly-raced she is.

Ran well on debut for this yard at Sandown last time out and steps up in trip here. On the same mark and shouldn't mind the ground, but still has a way to go to match the best of these.

Collected some good looking form when running well in maidens but was a mild disappointment switching to handicap company last time out. Down 2lb now but needs to show something else compared to that performance.

Consistent sort who is currently 4lb higher than his most recent win, which came with today's jockey in the saddle. This seems to be his trip and he should be capable of going close.

Winner over further at this course in September last year. Off since and entitled to need the run but not discounted if possessing enough fitness to give something like his true running.

Verdict

LOVE CONQUERS has put a disappointing debut effort well behind her on her two most recent starts and went very close to getting off the mark. She seems to have been allotted a lenient opening mark by the handicapper and given further improvement seems likely and given she is a half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Deep Brillante she has every chance of being at her best over this trip. The booking of Ryan Moore is a bonus for Light Of Air who should also be on the premises, as should recent Ripon scorer Pete So High.
