Race preview
DANCING DOUG was still in contention for a place when tumbling at the last at Carlisle last time but he has been eased 1lb since and might be able to finish on the premises if staying on his feet. Rukwa picked up minor money over 2m at Wetherby last time and could play a prominent role if seeing out this longer trip. Bravantina and Mcgarry could also make their presence felt.
