LIBERTY LOVE has the best recent form with a second at Wolverhampton to Easydoesit, who has since won again, and Shaun Harley's charge gets the token vote. Roman Senate is not the most reliable but capable at this level on his day while Here Comes Jeanie's latest fourth to Irene Kennet will look better if the latter runs well in the previous race. If You Whisper has yet to show any improvement for his tumble down the weights and My Manikato showed nothing on his return from a lengthy absence.
