Race preview
Former pointer MOUNTAIN MIKE won easily over hurdles at Ffos Las when last seen and has been found another winnable race in which to make his handicap/chase debut. The low-mileage seven-year-old ran well to finish second on his reappearance last year and, with his yard in good form, the foundations look solid. Kalhandrion, who tries cheekpieces after unseating last time, is lightly weighted and could be a bigger danger than Itseemslikeit, whose hat-trick bid went awry when a bad mistake ended any chance he had at Newbury.
