Race Tip

PURSUIT OF LOVE (1) is the one to beat in this small field. Represents Godolphin having made a good impression winning by 2. 75L over 1m2f at Southwell fifty six days ago. Holds potential and can double his tally. RAVENSPIRE (2) also comes here after a smart debut win. Trained by Karl Burke and won by 3L at Southwell over this distance. Clearly a live chance for in-form connections. Stablemate POKER (3) has first-time cheekpieces. He needs to find more after finishing 8. 5L second when last seen 180 days ago. QUIET SUMMER (4) faces a hard test on debut. Andrew Balding runners warrant respect so he is worth a market check.
