Love And Be Loved won a claimer at the track on her final start of last year but she really needs the ground much softer than this. Gainsay has only gone up 3lb for winning at Lingfield last month and may still have some scope over this trip. Mr Tyrrell is 0-19 and having a first run since June last year but Ryan Moore keeps faith with Richard Hannon’s five-year-old, who is handicapped to be thereabouts again. HIGH ACCLAIM is better treated, however, being 6lb lower than when winning the Spring Mile at Doncaster a year ago. He was back on song at Wolverhampton last month so gets the vote.
