The trio for the shortlist are LOVE MATCH, Maoi Chinn Tire and Kate Skate with the vote going to Love Match. The selection was a little disappointing in a handicap here last month but she bounced back to form with a good effort at Catterick last time when she chased home Night Trade. She had blinkers on that day which seemed to focus here and if the visor does the same job here she would have a good chance. Maoi Chinn Tire chased home Ever So Bold over 7f here last time with the first-time cheek-pieces applied. They are on again here and with the drop back to 6f also a plus, he could be a big danger to our selection. Keiren Fallon is an eyecatching jockey booking for Kate Skate and she could be worth another chance now that she is dropped back to 6f, as she has yet to prove that she stay any further than this. Dream Number is consistent and well drawn, while Pursuit Of Gold hails from a yard who have hit form, so any market support should be noted. However, the vote is given to Love Match.
