Another Bertie popped-up at 80/1 over 6f here last time and attempts this minimum trip for the first time raised 3lb. ARKID also raced over 6f at the track last month but didn’t last home though Les Eyre’s charge gets another chance on his earlier placed efforts over today’s distance including a close-up second at Lingfield when ahead of She's Sophie. Good To Go and Ard Up are among the least exposed and make most appeal of the remainder.
