With the greatest of respect to connections, there's ample deadwood in the opening race of the new jumps season at Gosforth Park and it's frankly impossible to look beyond the obvious claims of MR LOVE. Dan Skelton has clearly worked his magic on this new recruit, with the seven-year-old sauntering clear to win unchallenged by 15L at Huntingdon 12-days ago. 7lb well in under a 7lb penalty (is due a 14lb rise) he should really be disposing of these rather limited rivals with the minimum of fuss. With the Rose Dobbin string in fine form, the dual Wetherby scorer Final Fling could offer a more suitable each-way alternative.
