LONGEST TRAVELLER: LOVE TRUE trained by O Greenall & J Guerrie, Malpas, 157 miles.
LOVE TRUE showed improvement when last seen 7 months ago and, based on her French Flat form, she could be well in here, so she’s preferred to Suitably Surprised, who ran well over C&D (from out of the weights) last time and is now able to race from a lower mark. Foster’s Fortune is another one to consider

MORANDI SECOND posted an impressive display to score on the Flat last time and, with blinkers retained, he makes plenty of appeal back in this sphere. Clean Getaway, off the same mark as when scoring here last week, and Blended Stealth are dangerous.
