Caribeno was in fine form on the all-weather at the start of the year but has his first start since April off a 12lb higher mark than when last successful. Furzig looks more favourably treated on his earlier win at Pontefract and represents last year’s winning yard but LOVE IS GOLDEN has been competing in tougher races than this since scoring at Chester last month and Mark Johnston’s colt gets another chance. Red Force One continues to struggle.
