A wide open handicap hurdle but preference is for the progressive MAJESTIC TOUCH in the hope this larger field helps him settle better than he did at Fontwell last time. Man Of Plenty is well suited to these conditions and isn't one to rule out despite a poor losing run while Magic Dancer is an exciting prospect who may be capable of better this season.
