Parkview Love has been a model of consistency of late and, despite another 1lb rise for his latest second here over a mile, is taken to resume winning ways with Paso Doble and Majik rated the main dangers. The selection has done little wrong of late and may well be better over today's trip of seven furlongs. Certain Justice probably found the ground too testing when last sen at Doncaster last month and could be of interest back here although he remains plenty high enough in the weights. Hand Chime has plenty to find with the selection on running here last time and of more interest may be Paso Doble, although this looks tougher off a 4lb higher mark than the race that he won here last time. Majik would have solid claims provided that he stays and is another to consider but a safer bet looks to be the consistent Parkview Love, who is taken to score again.
