A chance is taken on Bergamo who ran well when second behind Cosmic Case at Perth last time out and this front runner could be the value especially if he gets an easy lead. Westernmost has been in good form of late but he seem to save his best form for Cartmel these days and he ran as if in the handicappers grip when well beaten there last time out by Night Fighter. Hamadeenah was agood winner of a seller last time out, but this is a harder race and he may struggle under his penalty. Poachers Run would have a chance on his best form but he was very disappointing last time out. Nichol Fifty needs to improve on all known form over hurdles to score.
