Plenty in with a chance here and the speculative vote goes to GOOSEBERRY BUSH. She scored on fast ground at Ffos Las before going close off a higher mark at Sandown last time and Peter Makin's filly still has room for improvement. Lucky Dan didn't get a clear run when sent off favourite at Chester recently and would have been the selection with a decent draw, while a high stall number has done Beverley winner Select Committee no favours either. It was testing ground at Carlisle when Bond Fastrac returned to winning ways last time, though he won his maiden here on good to firm, but Tislaam is better over 6f and Commanche Raider was engaged to run at Redcar yesterday.
