Field Exhibition has won twice since November on ground with plenty of give, including under Danny McMenamin, so any more rain would greatly aid her cause. CARA'S WAY showed potential for Gordon Elliott which was realised when she defied a bad mistake to make a winning start for Philip Kirby at Doncaster. She's only 4lb higher and can go in again though winning point-to-pointer Longhousesignora, who has been chasing, ran her best race to date over this track and trip in April. Annie Bonny, another winner between the flags, has been racing over trips too short while Mrs Miggins found 3m stretching her stamina at Taunton and should do better over this trip.
