A course and distance winner, Becca Campbell won at Lingfield recently and is upped 5lb. Deep Challenger failed to cope with a 4lb rise at Wolverhampton having won at the same track earlier while course specialist ROY ROCKET (NAP) also has a hike in the weights to contend with. But John Berry’s charge had plenty in hand when recording his sixth win at the track and is taken to go in again. Bridge Of Sighs beat Gannicus over track and trip in September and Galinthias may do better now handicapping for the first time.
