Kingofmerrows gets in here on favourable terms but has yet to win and is looking to put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him. But BERNIE’S BOY has Nicola Currie’s 5lb allowance helping his cause and he may just edge this on the back of a good effort at Kempton last week. Frankie teams-up with Toolatetodelegate but the latter has plenty to find at the weights despite her recent placed efforts and Tawaafoq hasn’t raced since September.
