Both D'urberville and BERTIE BUCKLE ran well on their first starts at this track on their last runs but with weight removed from the latter we side with Jeremy Gask's runner in this tight knit handicap with Premium Charge also making some appeal first time on the Fibresand. Hayley Turner is riding out of her skin at the moment and she takes the ride on the selection, who put in his best run when finding just an in-form runner too good last time. There's a couple of pounds less to carry here and with the yard going well he is the marginal call. D'urberville also found just the one too good last time when favourite and should have every chance of getting involved again off the same rating. Premium Charge will be under the stewardship of another in-form pilot David Probert. Chris Dwyer's charge continued his progressive profile when second best on his handicap debut last time at Wolverhampton and with just a pound extra to carry this time he should go close if the surface suits. Taper Jean Girl looks the only other to seriously consider but has form to over turn on the selection, which remains, if only marginally, with Bertie Buckle.
