MUMS THE WORD is the most exposed but should go close if running anywhere near her handicap mark of 80 - she was only beaten a length over track and trip last month. The remainder with experience have yet to threaten though Arctic Sea has plenty of scope having finished fourth at Chelmsford on his debut. Nick Vedder was still beaten 10 lengths when placed here last time so the newcomer Dance Dan Dan may prove a bigger threat for Mark Johnston’s yard.
