Scary Movie has won twice already at Kempton this week and was engaged to run at this track yesterday. Those exertions may have taken their toll if he does take part and BERNISDALE is preferred. The latter won a handicap off a 5lb higher mark last year and she showed signs of a resurgence with a third over track and trip last month. Activate is another on a decent mark if rediscovering his best and he had Majiz a couple of places behind when second at Kempton last week. The remainder are harder to fancy with Lady Of Burgundy perhaps the best of them.
