LOVE YOUR WORK (NAP) responded favourably to a change of scenery when scoring easily over 7f here a couple of days ago on his debut for Tim Fitzgerald’s yard. He can defy a penalty having won off a higher mark over course and distance last year. Little India ran a shocker when odds-on favourite here last time and is fitted with a visor for the first time while Lightning Attack and Oud Metha Bridge are closely matched on latest running at the track when the former came out just the best. Bond Angel, Tranchee and Custard The Dragon have all won here recently but Royal Big Night debuts on the surface.
