Race preview
MAHLERMADE ran his best race for quite some time when third at Wincanton on his most recent outing and must be of serious interest here for a trainer who usually does well on this card. The seven-year-old is at his best on a sound terrain, and Alexander Thorne's 7lb claim should really help matters too. Very First Time's winning run was ended at Market Rasen on Boxing Day, although he should appreciate this drop in trip, while Agamemmon, a Sedgefield scorer when last witnessed, is also noted despite an 8lb rise.
