Love Nest showed improved form when third on his return to action at Lingfield and looks sure to be thereabouts at the finish. However, BORDER ABBY also left her previous form behind when runner-up at Salisbury on her latest start and Rae Guest's filly is fancied to go one better in this less competitive contest. Celestial Flyer has been in better form of late and there should be more to come from both Hopscotch and Crabbies Bay making their handicap debuts.
