GUNS OF LOVE tries a new trip today but Robin Dickin's gelding likes this sharp track and should take all the beating if he lasts home. The danger may be Tigger, who hasn't had much luck of hurdles recently and is very one-paced but stays well enough. Reymysterio ran his best race so far over fences when second at Wincanton in April but hasn't been seen since, while Kirbys Glen also returns from a break though is another who has gone well here in the past.
