Verdict

A DAUGHTERS LOVE arrives on the back of back-to-back thirds and can land this weak handicap if reproducing that level. Us Officer should strip fitter for his reappearance and is respected on last year’s course form.

7	Good efforts when placed on last 2 starts, 5½ lengths third of 10 to Pureis King in classified stakes at Ffos Las on second one. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap but a reproduction of either of those placed efforts will likely be enough. 1st Pick 7 A Daughters Love Jockey: Jack Doughty Trainer: David Flood J: Jack Doughty T: David Flood	100	-	-	-	40%	3/2

3	Made more impact than previously when close fourth of 5 in nursery at this course on final start last year. Gelded and off 9 months prior to looking rusty on return, but likely to come on for that with cheekpieces returning in place of visor. 2nd Pick 3 Us Officer Jockey: Callum Hutchinson Trainer: Tom Dascombe J: Callum Hutchinson T: Tom Dascombe	96	-	-	-	19%	Scratched

6	Down the field in novices first 3 starts, but some encouragement amid traffic problems when eighth of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in February. Has failed to build on that in 2 starts since, though, losing her race at the start at this course last time. 3rd Pick 6 No Drama Mama (Ire) Jockey: Rowan Scott Trainer: Ollie Sangster J: Rowan Scott T: Ollie Sangster	94	-	-	-	9%	11/1
