Facethepuckout gets a change of headgear having gone close at Lingfield and makes more appeal than recent Southwell winner Love Your Work. The latter scored over a mile and Mushaageb finished fourth over the same distance on the Fibresand last time. Rambaldi also drops down in trip having ended last year with a victory at Kempton though Greybychoice’s earlier win was a walkover. Oloroso represents last year’s winning yard having been gelded since last in action but DERRY BOY was beaten only a nose over course and distance on his handicap debut and David Evans’ charge gets the vote to open his account racing off the same mark today.
