Race preview
In an extremely open contest, BIRD ON THE WIRE is fancied to return to winning ways after a good second at Worcester last week. He pulled clear with the winner that day and, off the same mark, Donald McCain's seven-year-old is fancied to go one better here. Robeam has been running well recently and if continuing in that form, can go close again, but the biggest danger to the selection might be Ben Lilly, who has been running well in defeat in recent months.
