Several have been winning all-weather bumpers with Busy Street scoring here before placing back on the Flat ahead of Glan Y Gors. Wise Eagle and Dagian return to the Flat today having also won at this venue recently while CLOUD THUNDER (NAP) landed a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield last month. But the latter finished runner-up in a higher grade contest at the track when last on the level and it’s Heather Main’s charge that’s gets the vote in the opener. Lopes Dancer is preferred to the returning Ghadbbaan of the remainder.
