Love Nest has started favourite for all seven outings this season and obliged just the once at Kempton in September. It's difficult to have much faith in him and a chance is taken on GALLANTRY. Eight times a winner on Polytrack, he didn't stay the 1m2f at Kempton last time, but is now 19lb lower than his win at the same track back in January and looks ready to take advantage. Lightning Spirit was all out to score at Kempton last time and will need to improve again, while Resplendent Alpha has done all his winning over 6f and Gee Major makes more appeal only 1lb higher than September's victory on the Polytrack.
