Parkview Love can benefit from the step up in trip to beat Majehar, Binnion Bay and Paso Doble to name but a few. Parkview Love has been maintaining a good level of consistency over the winter without managing to gain due reward, but it is only a matter of time before he puts matters right. Derek Shaw's six-year-old caught the eye at Wolverhampton last time when beaten by Kabis Amigos, going down a head after making good headway from the rear. The extra furlong today should be to his advantage, and he can pay to follow. Majehar justified favouritism over a mile at Southwell last time, coming late on the scene to prevail, but the feeling is that he may just be taken off his feet on this surface, and so he is opposed. Binnion Bay is out to get the losses back after going down narrowly to Mystic Man at Kempton, and he will appreciate the extra furlong, but is drawn widest of all in stall 12, while Paso Doble left the money in the bookies' satchels at Southwell nine days ago, but has been in winning form this winter and remains fairly treated. A wide-open contest can go to Parkview Love.
