LOVE YOUR WORK has yet to win on Turf but has won three of only seven outings since joining Rebecca Menzies’ yard. An easy winner at Southwell last week, he can race off a 10lb lower mark back on this surface. Al Qaasim missed out on a hat-trick when beaten at Chelmsford while Red Bond and Precision Storm have been thereabouts at Wolverhampton recently. Be Fair went close over a longer trip at Kempton last time and is another to consider.
