Rhyme Scheme has been raised 4lb for winning at Chelmsford while Tyche went close over a longer trip here. There was little between third-placed Heat And Dust and Well Prepared at Chelmsford last time but MR DIB DAB posted his best effort so far when third over course and distance and a good effort form the runner-up Regina George in the previous race would further boost confidence in his chances. Bearwith and Black Medick are others with a shout in an open contest.
