BERTIE'S DESIRE opened his account over fences at Huntingdon last month. Eased down after clearing the last, he can shrug off a 10lb rise and go in again. Mia's Vic has been trying his best but keeps finding one too good and it could be a similar story here while Lemon's Gent was still in contention when falling at Leicester last time and could also figure. Martin Cash attempted to land a quick double after winning at Wincanton but came unstuck behind Lord Fox at Fakenham. He's another to consider with Boss In Boots looking best of the remainder.
