The latest victory of Ochos Rios doesn't amount to much as it was in Guernsey and his best form is at Southwell. Insomniac will be better for his run at Yarmouth which was on soft ground but Bergholt's best run last season was on fast ground. Beast hasn't been running badly on the all-weather though one placed effort from 12 runs doesn't offer much encouragement. MOUNT CLESHAR was a 66/1 chance on his comeback at Brighton last month, his first start for almost a year. He showed a bit more dash and it wouldn't take much more to take this very poor handicap.
