Verdict

LOVE YOUR LOOKS continues to improve and scored over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last month with a bit to spare. There looks more to come and he can defy top weight. Signora Frasi ran well enough off today's mark over C&D a fortnight ago and should be thereabouts while Pearl Opera could also figure on her return having scored over track and trip in August. The handicapper appeared to have overrate Ela Gonda Mou's maiden win at Wolverhampton in November as she's subsequently been dropped 11lb but Inpursuitoffreedom has disappointed since winning at Southwell earlier this year.
