Loving Your Work didn't have much luck on the all-weather earlier this year. He's won here in the past and is starting look well handicapped again. Lady Of Yue doesn't look badly treated on the pick of her form on Turf and is another to consider while Felix Fabulla could give a good account, despite top weight. Tom Marquand's mount SHADES OF GREY was successful over course and distance off a higher mark in 2012 and was also second here on her final start last year. We'll take a chance that she's ready for her comeback as this is probably on the sharp side for winning hurdler Gimme Five, despite his third at Doncaster in March.
