Many chances in another wide open handicap. Early Doors looks one of the more obvious ones after an excellent effort at Cheltenham but DREAM BERRY was a big eyecatcher at the Festival too, finishing his race off well to be a close seventh in the Coral Cup. With that under his belt, he can strip fitter here and go one better than he did in the race last year. Max Dynamite is a quality performer on his day and can never be ruled out in these big field handicaps, Agent Boru comes here off the back of a win and the quicker they go the better his chance, and Low Sun looks a potential improver.
