An open handicap but MURAAHIN is the one to focus on as he has caught the eye since joining Gavin Cromwell and now looks ready to take a big step forward after his promising sixth over C&D last week. Neyland is still without a win but arrives in good nick so is feared most, while top-weight Characteristic is weighted to have a say too.
