In depth

Verdict

Love Your Work won here in between modest efforts elsewhere on the all-weather while Ollivander was placed over 7f at the track in novice company last time. SYLVIACLIFFS has won twice over 7f here this year and has been raised 9lb for her latest wide-margin success. But an apprentice’s allowance negates most of that and another bold bid is expected from Karl Burke’s filly. Gennaro went close at Pontefract on his handicap debut and races on this surface for the first time along with the equally unexposed Fiction Writer and Natty Night.
