Verdict
Love Your Work could be interesting back in the right grade while the step up to a mile should suit Motawaj, who finished third at Doncaster on his final start last season. RAMBALDI was successful over course and distance last month. The handicapper has only raised him 2lb so a follow-up looks a distinct possibility for Marco Botti’s gelding. Penrhos didn’t take to the Polytrack last time and has claims making his handicap debut but Skyman was disappointing on his return to action at Carlisle. Prince Of Harts has form over track and trip so can’t be ruled out.
