Hong Kong Joe has been thereabouts over 1m4f on the all-weather recently but LOVING YOUR WORK is preferred. The latter slips further down the weights and wasn’t beaten far over today’s distance at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Zaria has every chance on the best of last year’s form as she returns to action while the same comment applies to both Born To Please and Edge. Berkeley Vale won off a higher mark at Bath last season and is another to consider in a weak contest.
