GEOGRAPHY TEACHER was no match for Badger Berry, due to run in the previous race, when runner-up over course and distance. But he’s only 2lb higher than when winning here last month and looks sure to be in the mix again given most of the opposition have something to prove on Fibresand. Khazaf’s recent win came over 7f at Newcastle while Sezina made her handicap debut at the same track. Compass Point has experience of the track but the likes of Parknacilla and Dyagilev debut on the surface.
