JANAL put up a solid jumping performance last time out and while life is much more difficult today, she certainly seems to work well in tandem with 7lb conditional, Gary Rutherford. Lerida plugged on well at Carlisle without ever quite looking as if he'd get there. Fongoli is often fancied for low grade races of this nature though she has become increasingly unreliable. Hollandia has had obvious training troubles that have limited racecourse outings though that didn't stop somebody fancying her at Newton Abbot despite over two-and-a-half years away. Guns Of Love returns to the scene of victory some 531 days ago. He obliged in that race despite the double whammy of putting up overweight and racing from out of the handicap and as a consequence, he is of serious interest if the market speaks in his favour.
