9/1
28/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 11 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and acts on slow ground, so there's cause for optimism.

Three wins from 15 runs last year. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (8f). Off 161 days and others are more persuasive.

Winner at Newcastle in October but only ninth of 12 in handicap at that course (8f, 9/1) 39 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 40/1) 20 days ago and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Seventh of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago and he's likely to find a few too good once more.

17/2
Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/1) 33 days ago. Just 1-18 on turf but no worries ground-wise and this 8-y-o has a solid chance.

12/1
Latest win at Southwell in December. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago, conceding first run. Strong contender if able to continue the good work back on turf but his previous efforts on grass have not been at all inspiring.

8/1
Twenty-four runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 32 days ago. Goes on soft ground and down to an attractive mark, so he's one to consider.

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Ayr (8f, soft, 28/1). Off 6 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

14/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 76 days ago, sticking to task. Hood on 1st time and could make her presence felt if able to step up on her previous turf efforts here.

It's been a while since LOVE YOUR WORK last got his head in front and his record on turf stands at 1-18 but, unlike several of these rivals, he arrives here on the back of a good effort. Furthermore, the 8-y-o was a solid second off a 6 lb higher mark at Chester on his sole run on turf last season and that was on heavy ground, so conditions here will not be a concern. Devasboy will also go on the ground and could be the main danger, while Global Spirit and Fitz Perfectly have claims, too.
