How's The Guvnor (G)
[H]
Dual 7f/1m all-weather winner in January. Possibly found the run coming too soon when seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 56 days ago and can bounce back after a break.

Token Love (G)
[T]
Shaped well after 3 months off when seventh of 15 in handicap at Nottingham (1m) 21 days ago, fading only late on. Can strip sharper here and weighted to go close in his bid for a maiden victory.
