Advancing years have failed to dampen the enthusiasm of LOVE THE LEADER (NAP), who made all for an easy victory at Fakenham 10 days ago under Mitch Bastyan and escapes a penalty. Chain Smoker won over a shorter trip here around this time last year but was pulled up on his reappearance and recent Plumpton scorer Burgess Dream looks a bigger danger being a previous course and distance winner. Nessfield Blue is 0-13 but was third over track and trip on his fencing bow and makes more appeal than Larcadio and Fizzlestix.
