Verdict
This looks wide open but Ibiza Love is having a first run for a new yard while Thunderbear had a busy campaign as a juvenile. Second here last month, Open Market was only beaten a short-head at Yarmouth subsequently. Just denied at Haydock in September, MUTAANY landed the odds at Brighton later when having more in hand than the winning margin suggests - he should do well in handicaps this year. Wen Moon in a higher grade at Pontefract three weeks ago and Fox Master also has a chance if taking to this surface.
