Forest Of Love has been on the premises in three outings to date and this looks a good chance for her to lose her maiden tag, Stargazer Jim and Truman appear to be the main dangers. The Barry Hills trained filly has not been beaten far at Newbury, Nottingham and Newcastle and all three events have worked out very well. This is her easiest task to date and she looks the one to be on. Stargazer Jim is steadily improving and his recent fourth behind Ashkal Way at Beverley has received a boost as the fifth home was successful next time out. Meanwhile Truman can be given an excellent chance on the pick of last season's form. Monashee Express has run well over the course and may do best of the others, however Forest Of Love's form looks the strongest on show and she gets the vote.
