Landofheartsdesire has been in excellent heart on turf of late and is the TEAMtalk choice to continue the trend on her all-weather bow. The daughter of Up And At 'Em followed a 6f handicap success at Newcastle earlier in the month with a good second in similar company at Catterick and could offer a bit of value under her regular 5lb apprentice rider. Summer Shades is no world beater but has proven form on this surface and showed herself to be in good form when a close third in a competitive handicap at Beverley last time. Golden Locket and Ashtree Belle have voth been in winning form of late and neither can be dismissed in tricky opener.
