5/1

Course winner. Last of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, too free. That should have blown away the cobwebs.

Right back on his game when winning 12-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 13/8) 6 days ago, soon clear. Cracking strike rate and there may be more to come on turf.

16/1

20/1, very good fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago, having run of race. Eased 5 lb so he's clearly very dangerous.

Forecasts

Love Your Work (8/11), Carrigillihy (5/1), Quoteline Direct (7/1), Spantik (11/1), Bookmark (12/1), Swinton Noon (16/1), Whatwouldyouknow (28/1)

LOVE YOUR WORK travelled fluently when justifying support at Beverley last week and given his lower turf mark hopes are high of the follow up under a penalty. Quoteline Direct has winning form here to his name and the booking of De Sousa catches the eye, with Swinton Noon completing the shortlist.
