Verdict

A competitive affair and TOKEN LOVE may be able to go one better than on stable debut last week. Bearwith is back on a handy mark, while Maple's latest C&D third is working out well.

8	Low-mileage 4-y-o. Shaped well when second at Wolverhampton for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero in December. Encouraging effort when runner-up on stable debut at Nottingham (1¼m) 8 days ago. He's relatively unexposed and could get the run of the race here. Leading claims. 1st Pick 8 Token Love (Fr) Jockey: Aiden Brookes Trainer: Micky Hammond J: Aiden Brookes T: Micky Hammond	100	-	-	-	29%

1	Won readily off 1 lb higher mark over C&D in February. Has been freshened up since finishing down the field at Leicester 6 weeks ago and looks one of the more likely winners. 2nd Pick 1 Bearwith Jockey: T. Kiely-Marshall Trainer: Harriet Bethell J: T.

11	Has placed in 3 successive C&D handicaps, latterly when third in a race that has produced several next-time-out winners. Looks interesting on first start following a breathing operation. 3rd Pick 11 Maple Jockey: Rhys Elliott Trainer: Ruth Jefferson J: Rhys Elliott T: Ruth Jefferson	96	-	-	-	17%
