Love You More could finally shed maiden tag
The step up to a mile-and-a-quarter should suit Cracksman filly Onlyriversrunfree, who is making her third appearance in handicap company. She hasn't been seen to the best effect in her two latest runs but is yet to be fully exposed and could be capable of showing further improvement in only her sixth career start.
The four-year-old was far from disgraced in a couple of outings in novice and maiden company earlier this year, and, from a low mark of 52, it could prove worth keeping the faith in her.
In her latest Kempton start in February, Onlyriversrunfree appeared to be staying on promisingly enough over the mile trip despite being unable to land any blow on the leading pack, sent off at odds of 250/1251.00 on that occasion.
At a price of 28/129.00, Onlyriversrunfree shouldn't be discounted and is one to note each-way. She appears to be learning with experience and the best should be yet to come from her.

It could be tenth time lucky for maiden Love You More, who makes appeal from a rating of 52 for trainer Joseph Parr.
Things haven't gone the three-year-old's way so far during her career, but she has shaped with promise on occasion and has shown she possesses the capabilities to be competitive in a race.
She had excuses for a number of her runs to date, often becoming short of room when mounting her challenge.
That was the case over a mile in her penultimate start in which she appeared to be coming with a threatening run on the rail before being badly hampered, losing all momentum.
At Leicester in September, the daughter of Bated Breath stayed on well to place in third at odds of 12/113.00 from a 6lb higher mark, her best finishing position to date, showing she possesses some ability and can be competitive.
Love You More isn't one to give up on just yet and warrants each-way consideration at a price of 25/126.00.

Only 3lb higher than his last winning mark, River Wharfe holds strong claims for Tony Carroll, who has been among the winners of late, including one at 50/151.00 last week. The seven-year-old gelding has plenty of experience in his favour as he makes his 68th career start, and has winning course form too.
Rossa Ryan is performing at a 29 percent strike-rate for the yard this year and could make it third time lucky aboard the son of Showcasing, whom he has partnered twice in the past.
River Wharfe appears on a workable mark and can be forgiven for his two latest runs at the track. He was forced extremely wide turning for home over 7f here in October, and was unable to get involved from the rear of the field when last seen.
On a going day, River Wharfe has the ability to win from his current rating and can put in a bold bid at odds of 9/110.00.

Making his first appearance for his new trainer Gary McGill, Money Heist is one to note on his return to hurdling. He wasn't seen to best effect over fences in his latest start on reappearance following a 194-day break, but should fare better this time around, entitled to improve for a run as he did last season.
The eight-year-old gelding makes appeal at the weights from a mark of 109, 6lb higher than when a creditable second to Drop The Anchor in his penultimate start at Fairyhouse. He has won from a 3lb lower rating over fences in the past, and could exploit his 12lb lower hurdling rating in this two mile contest.
Still lightly raced making only his tenth start over timber, Money Heist has the scope for further improvement and has already proven himself as a capable performer over both hurdles and fences. He warrants consideration at odds of 7/18.00 and could add to his three career successes to date.
Back Money Heist E/W in 14:50 Naas
Five-year-old mare Enola Grey didn't perform to the best of her ability at Southwell when last seen over a mile, but drops in class here over a furlong shorter and should be able to fare better.
The Gemma Tutty-trained contender is a likeable type who was able to run with plenty of credit at Redcar in her penultimate start, beaten only a length-and-a-quarter in fourth at a price of 12/113.00.
Most of her experience is on an all-weather surface and she seems to be most effective over this distance. She has course-and-distance winning form and is 6lb below her last win, putting her in with strong claims at the weights at this level.
With enough in her favour here, Enola Grey can put in a bold bid under Kaiya Fraser and is one to note at a price of 9/25.50.
