The day's feature has attracted a bumper entry and looks wide-open. Northern raider Ganbei is going great guns and tough veteran Rebeccas Choice is well treated on his chase form. Vesperal Dream and Dancing Shadow have also been chasing, as has Amigo. Handy Andy is also better over the larger obstacles but Iora Glas won over hurdles at Perth in April and makes more appeal than Linguine over this trip. LISTEN AND LEARN looks to be on a fair mark at present and has won over 3m. He made late headway last time at Market Rasen and a big run is anticipated. Henllan Harri was a bit unlucky last time and could also figure with a clear round.
