Verdict
Lucayan’s winning run came to an end when finishing behind the runner-up Takeonefortheteam here last time. Back From Dubai failed to get a clear run over track and trip when attempting to land a five-timer and is not out of this while Finery has been raised 5lb for winning at Chelmsford. Love Your Work scored over course and distance a week ago and can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account but a competitive opener can go to ROBERT WALPOLE, a runner-up at Wolverhampton on his debut for Roger Varian and first outing since last summer.
