It was a very poor seller that MALANGEN won at Exeter but this isn’t much better and David Pipe’s four-year-old should stay this longer trip. Donald McCain runs three in the second division of this handicap but daughter Abbie looks to have the best chance on veteran grey Danceintothelight. Asknotwhat was just beaten by a subsequent winner at Market Rasen last month so must have every chance of going one better only 2lb higher.
