Not a particularly strong heat but it does feature a couple of runners that have threatened to do better of late with HEAR THE CHIMES given a chance to show that he can finish a race off having run well on his only previous visit to Market Rasen. The Blue Bomber is another who may well be able to build on a good recent start having looked suited by this trip last time out. Steel City blotted his copybook on his last start but a repeat of his debut effort for this yard would put him in the picture while Ortenzia has run respectably over hurdles so far and going into handicaps after a wind operation may well see further progress.
