In depth
Verdict
Love Your Work was successful at Beverley in the spring but does most of his winning on artificial surfaces. A winner here last month, Ayr Poet went close again at Ayr 10 days ago while Strangerontheshore also arrives in good form, though is better on quicker surfaces. BRECKLAND has the beating of Ayr Poet on a second here last month. Though he has won over 7f since, this is probably his trip nowadays. Grey Belle’s second at Thirsk two weeks ago suggests she’s on a decent mark at present and Shahnaz has been coming on in leaps and bounds so can’t be ignored.
