Plenty with a shout in this opener including Light From Mars, a winner over track and trip when last competing in a claimer. Mr David finished behind the former on that occasion and has won at this track subsequently while Al Muheer went close in a seller at Redcar last month. CAPAILL LIATH has failed to figure since landing a Class 2 handicap back in June but he won't have to run up to that form to come out best in this company and gets the vote.
