The veteran MASTER VINTAGE made all and stayed on strongly to beat Blue N Yellow over this trip at Market Rasen and though the runner-up is 5lb better off he had every chance and the places should be confirmed and a follow-up looks on the cards. Land League, runner-up here early last month, didn't stay 3m at Kempton next time and can do better while Snowy Oscar makes his chasing debut and may need the experience. Witches Glen hadn't shown much better effort over 3m1f at Plumpton so could find this on the short side but From The Heart has always looked a chasing type and starts off on a very lowly mark.
