Dishy Guru, Al Freej and Welease Bwian have all won on the all-weather recently but this looks wide-open with a handful of lightly-raced sorts returning to action. Light Burst and Mayo Lad represent a couple of the more powerful yards and the betting should help in assessing their chances but Clive Cox won this last year and runs two today. Little Rainbow was placed at Leicester when last seen but stablemate POSEIDON GREY has the best piece of form having finished second at Kempton on his debut and he gets the nod. School Fees, Foot Tapper and Star Kingdom are other potential improvers to note.
