11/10

Bounced back to form when second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 8 weeks ago, no match for winner. Can give another good account.

Backed up his reappearance effort when fourth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 8 weeks ago. Should be in the mix again.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: T E Whelan| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 76

22/1

Ended a losing run from a career-low mark at Nottingham for George Baker last autumn but has made an inauspicious start to life with this yard, not seen to best advantage when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month. Cheekpieces reapplied.

Form: 4410-60

A Gift Of Love^h⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 74

11/2

13/2 and hooded for 1st time, seemed totally unsuited by the testing conditions when tailed off on handicap debut at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 40 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Shortlist material returned to all-weather.

Form: 9/23-0

Forecasts

Zoran (11/10), Moel Arthur (11/4), A Gift Of Love (11/2), Sailing On (7/1), Master Grey (18/1), Motazzen (22/1), Pawpaw (100/1)

A GIFT OF LOVE seemed unsuited by conditions when finishing tailed off at Doncaster on handicap debut just under 6 weeks ago, so another chance is given to Charlie Fellowes' 4-y-o returned to a synthetic surface. He can get the better of Moel Arthur, who backed up his reappearance effort when fourth over C&D 8 weeks ago. Sailing On completes the shortlist making his all-weather debut.
