I Know How has won four times here, the latest from 6lb higher a year ago. Won Love lost his maiden tag on the Tapeta at Southwell a couple of weeks ago while Million Reasons won for the first time at the 21st attempt at Lingfield last month. WESTERN MUSIC (NAP) had been racing over 7f before dropping back to this trip at Southwell and gaining her first success. She's been raised 3lb but still looks reasonably treated. Lincoln Gamble completed a double over 7f at Wolverhampton and led for a long way over that trip at Kempton next time so won't be inconvenienced by dropping down. Queen Of Burgundy has moved to Mick Appleby and is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in October.
