Race preview
BEST MATE DAVE got off the mark over C&D two starts ago and he may have found 2m7f a bit too far when caught late on his most recent outing. Back down in trip, the six-year-old could be hard to stop off what is clearly a workable mark. Steal My Sunshine won well when last seen at Uttoxeter in May and has to be respected on his return, while Rare Clouds is also noted.
