BARREN BROOK was sent off favourite when landing this in 2011 off a 3lb lower mark. A market move today would be interesting and, though Mick Easterby also runs Musselburgh third Kalk Bay, Ted Durcan's mount gets the nod again. Assizes took a step back at Chester but Forget Me Not Lane will have benefited from his fourth at Carlisle while Lord Of The Dance won at Haydock on Wednesday, though will find this more difficult under a penalty. Act Your Shoe Size, Beverley scorer Christmas Light and the luckless Robert The Painter all arrive in decent form and could prove the pick of the remainder.
