Not a strong event and further rain would count against a few of these. L'Es Fremantle had been something of a legend for his non-winning streak but to be fair to him, he brings some decent form at this level to the table here and his love affair with Market Rasen means he may well be taking some more prize money home here. But the two to concentrate on might be the well-handicapped Foundation Man, who could bounce back under conditions that should suit, and ROYAL ACT, who still has the scope to do a bit better yet, and the return of cheekpieces is an encouraging sign.
