Presenting Berkley has been given a 7lb hike for his Newton Abbot success but still rates as one of the more likely scorers in what does look an open race. However, course specialists frequently do well here and although DAMIENS DILEMMA has yet to enter that category, he did shown major improvement to score over course and distance three weeks ago and can follow up for the Coltherds. Irish raider Benarty Hill requires a market check after a recent pipe-opener, although he would be one of a number who would prove suited by a downpour or two. Grow Nasa Grow remains on a decent perch and could contend along with Eager To Know, Miss Biscotti and Chantara Rose.
