It was soft ground when DENNIS won at Catterick last month. His recent disappointing effort at Thirsk was too bad to be true and Tim Easterby's charge gets another chance in this. The veteran Beckermet ran really well in better company at Hamilton last week and could figure while Destination Aim should give another good account after scoring at Thirsk recently. Ted's Brother won't mind the soft ground and neither will Kung Hei Fat Choy and both could get involved if at their best.
