Abi McCain partnered DANCEINTOTHELIGHT to victory in last year’s renewal and a repeat looks on the cards. He’s been placed in higher grade handicaps the last twice and is preferred to Donna's Pride. The latter has also been thereabouts of late and recorded her only win so far in 20 starts over timber at this venue last year. Cape Hideaway was beaten only a length over 2m here two runs ago but fell back over these obstacles last time but Chasma is not badly weighted if back to his best after a recent pipe-opener at Leicester. Magnolia Ridge won twice over hurdles earlier this year, including one of these events at Market Rasen.
