LOVE DE VEGA proved at least as good as ever when making his first start at 1m a winning one at Pontefract last week and, the manner in which he quickened clear suggests a 5 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent another bold showing. War Chant is another in-form sort and is feared, with Indemnity and Whitcombe Rockstar others to consider.
