The market is best watched with regards to the returning Doktor Glaz and Unex Canaletto, though both are feasibly treated. The former is trained by Rose Dobbin, who may have a better chance with lightly-raced top weight Professor Plum. Grand Enterprise won at Doncaster last month but then failed to cope with a higher mark at Wetherby. Smoking Dixie is Ben Pauling’s first ever runner here and makes his handicap debut but winning chaser MIDNIGHT REQUEST is back on a more suitable surface after a couple of runs in the mud so gets a tentative vote.
