Risk Free makes a quick return to the racecourse having been successful over course and distance last Friday, he has to be considered again today, however we will give the vote to La Gessa, with Cup Of Love also expected to be in the shake up. The selection landed a Yarmouth seller back in September on only her second ever outing. She did it in fine style and there should be plenty of improvement to come. If she handles this all-weather surface she must go close off her current handicap mark. Risk Free just got up to beat the 62 rated Seattle Robber also in a seller. On that evidence he is not harshly treated here and he should be there or thereabouts again this afternoon. Cup Of Love may have found the mile trip a little on the short side last time and will appreciate this extra distance today. The pick of the others could be Blue Quiver, but with Jamie Spencer booked, La Gessa is expected to run a sound race and she gets the verdict
