This looks wide open and it could be worth chancing SO MANY ROADS, who hasn't pulled up any trees in his 3 runs over hurdles but he could be about to take a sizeable step forward now switched to handicap company. Dora de Janeiro put in a good shift from the front at Market Rasen last time and a reproduction of that would put her firmly in the picture, while Ex S'Elance needs considering judged on his latest effort and Serious Ego also enters calculations.
