Despite the size of the field, few can be seriously fancied and the TEAMtalk nod goes to Lots Of Love. Mark Johnston's charge was a most progressive performer last term notching three wins in useful classified/handicap company in testing conditions and although not in the same level of form during the current campaign, he can make the most of a drop in class. New Options is hard to assess but is a prolific winner in Scandinavia and should be noted in the market. Resonate has claims on his third in a minor event at Newcastle earlier in the month but flopped next time while Starbeck remains out of form and Rushmore returns from a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
