Love Your Work is a seven-times track winner who has won from higher marks and was racing over a trip too short last time. Big Bear Hug lost her maiden tag at the 14th times of asking at Leicester but has never raced on this surface. Written Broadcast followed a victory at Wolverhampton with a moderate effort in a Catterick claimer while Eminent Hipster's all-weather form is poor. BUSHFIRE would have a chance on his narrow course and distance defeat in December and has dropped to his lowest ever mark so gets a tentative vote.
