Listen To The Man has already won five times this year with her latest victory in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen her best effort yet. She is a danger to all with her mares' allowance but AMOUR DE NUIT also produced a career-best in a Grade 2 at Chepstow last week and can return to winning ways if that hasn't taken too much out of him. The others look to be facing a very stiff task at the weights with Saxo Jack possibly the best of them.
