Between The Waters wasn’t beaten far over course and distance two weeks ago after scoring over a shorter trip at Fontwell. He’s only been raised a pound since so has every chance of resuming winning ways in what looks a modest contest. Sweet Destination has travelled over from Ireland is search of a first victory under Rules. She’s a consistent mare and it will be a surprise if she’s not in the firing-line given she was second over 3m1f at Wexford in September. PRESENTING BERKLEY won over this trip at Newton Abbot in the summer and he’s starting to slip down the weights again so gets the nod with Megaboost possibly best of the rest.
