Quite a competitive contest with another chance offered to DANBY'S LEGEND, a faller here two out last time when looking nailed on to score. He can make amends in a slightly tougher contest for a yard performing extremely well with its select band of summer jumpers, including Enchanted Garden, who landed a nice pot at the big Market Rasen meeting last weekend. Tempuran looks on a demanding mark but did win very easily at Newton Abbot just over a week ago and is a danger if repeating such form now. Red Rosso is also respected on last month's course and distance win but will need to progress again off his revised mark, while both The Absent Mare and Xenophon have been running well enough in recent starts to get involved.
