The market should be a good guide to a race which includes several unexposed and promising types from powerful yards. Graham Wylie had to exercise the cheque book to buy MR DINOSAUR after he ran away with a point-to-point at Berkeley just under a year ago. He's taken a while to get to the racecourse but has a terrific pedigree and could turn out to be useful. Might Bite showed enough in a bumper here in January to suggest he'll pay his way while Sadler's Gold was well backed at Plumpton in November and should be capable of better. As should Gold Man while Royalraise already has some decent form in the book over timber.
