Water Diviner won at Wolverhampton recently and Great Scot made a winning start at Chester. Both are penalised today which hands the advantage to LINE OF DUTY, beaten only a neck at Sandown on his recent introduction and expected to go one better in this. Massam finished a close-up fourth at Chelmsford last time while Love Your Work was placed at Leicester and both are preferred to Kenzohope but Whenapoet has a tough task on his debut.
