Must Be Love carries the field's highest SR (156) — a clear 3-point gap over Empress Jingu and 9-15 points over the rest — and is trained by the Gosdens whose 24% strike rate is the best in this field by some distance. Billy Loughnane at 18% on 2,967 career rides is the most accomplished booking here, and the market has shortened 15% since opening, confirming stable confidence. All runners share equal weight (9-2) so there is no weight-based reason to oppose, and the debutants Ghaiyyath Dream and Haldon Hill are both drifting sharply in the market, suggesting no strong support from their yards. The combination of SR leadership, elite connections, and market direction makes this a clear selection.
Each-way alternative: Empress Jingu.
Main danger: Empress Jingu — Empress Jingu holds the second-highest SR in the field (153), is trained by Andrew Balding (18% strike rate, 2,923 runners), finished fifth on debut which gives her proven racecourse experience, and at 11/4 the market still respects her — she is the most likely horse to capitalise if Must Be Love underperforms on debut.

At 6/5 Must Be Love is odds-on in a field that includes Empress Jingu (SR:153, 11/4) trained by Balding (18% strike rate) — razor-thin SR margin does not justify such a compressed price with no race…
Empress Jingu has already run once (Form:5, 13 days ago) giving her a concrete fitness and experience edge on debut day, yet is available at 11/4 — the market is not as emphatic about Must Be Love as…
Ralph Beckett's Haldon Pier (SR:147, 19% trainer strike rate) is a debutant from a yard that routinely wins first time out, yet has drifted to 11/2 — if Must Be Love's debut confidence is the argumen…
