It’s often worth sticking with progressive fillies at this time of the season and LOVE AND BE LOVED is just that. The Salisbury winner defied a 5lb rise to score in heavy going at Leicester last month and should make another bold bid. Hedging won on the Turf course at Lingfield last month but Edgar Allan Poe remains 5b higher than when landing a double during the summer. Dana's Present was placed in plating races earlier in the year while Sky Marshal is the least exposed and makes his handicap debut today.
