BETWEEN THE WATERS will be difficult to beat despite a penalty for last week's Southwell victory. Both of his successes have come at a lower grade but he's the only one of these running well. The veteran Valleyofmilan would be a threat this at his best as he's scored in better company off higher marks and likes it around here. However, he was beaten a long way when last seen at Kelso in December and may just need the run. Wilberdragon has won at this level from 6lb higher but his two recent runs leave plenty to be desired while Amber Gambler, who landed a Class 2 handicap at Haydock last March, has gone backwards rapidly and was a long way last at Stratford when last seen.
