Formscan - Life After Love excels at this venue and recorded her second C&D triumph with a gutsy display last month. She had a subsequent winner back in third but faces an interesting handicap debutant in BLUE DEVERON, who has yet to finish outside the first three and a mark of 67 could be lenient. Believeinmenow made a decent enough reappearance at Bath, with Beach Partee well in arrears, and should step forward. Sands of Seve was beaten seven lengths into third by Life After Love here in February and is no better off.
