Forecasts

Love Your Work (1/1), Cliffcake (4/1), Custard The Dragon (13/2), Light Lily (10/1), Mostallim (10/1), Daafy (16/1), Harbour Vision (22/1), Katheefa (28/1), I Know How (80/1), The Retriever (100/1)

Several of these arrive in good nick but LOVE YOUR WORK is comfortably the most persuasive option given he escapes a penalty for Thursday's decisive C&D success. Southwell-regular Custard The Dragon and Cliffcake head the opposition.
