Juan Les Pins^h⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 77

7/1

Respectable second of 6 in claimer at Lingfield (7f) 9 days ago, keeping on without threatening winner. Going through a good spell at present and not discounted back in a handicap.

Form: 0666-32

Battered²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Davies⁽⁷⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 77| D

14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2017. 40/1, sixth of 9 in handicap here (8.1f) 23 days ago, possibly in need of first start on back of 9 months off. This should reveal more.

Form: 6579/7-6

Gypsy Whisper²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| D

3/1

Losing run mounting up but filled the frame on 4 of her 5 starts around here upon joining present stable this winter. Well below best over 1m here but no surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 6334-39

Love Your Work¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers| T: R Menzies| OR: 62| CD

5/4

4-time course winner. First run since leaving Stef Keniry when good second of 12 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 6/1) 18 days ago. Worth a second look here for in-form yard.

Forecasts

Love Your Work (5/4), Gypsy Whisper (3/1), Follow Your Heart (7/2), Juan Les Pins (7/1), Spring Romance (10/1), Battered (14/1)

LOVE YOUR WORK produced a promising effort from his much-reduced mark when runner-up over 1m here on debut for Rebecca Menzies 18 days ago and could be worth siding with to confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. Gypsy Whisper is a big danger if forgiven her latest effort, whilst Juan Les Pins is going through a good spell and can also feature.
