All bar Molaaheth have won on the track though he finished last at Kempton a fortnight ago, his first start since being gelded. Mister Music was in brilliant form here two years ago, completing a four-timer in a Class 2 handicap off 14lb higher than here though he disappointed when favourite for a claimer last time when behind runner-up BEDTIME BELLA. The latter could be good enough in what looks a tight handicap. Liamba is 3-13 around here though she's never won beyond 6f. Coolagh Magic has gradually dropped to a fair mark and was staying on over 6f here last time but Love Your Work has gained both track victories over a mile and this could prove on the short side.
