The betting suggested BERYL THE PERIL (NAP) would show further progress last time and she duly opened her account over track and trip. She can defy a 3lb rise and confirm latest running with Peachey Carnehan. The latter beat Split Elevens here in October while Bobby Joe Leg had the measure of Divine Connection, Maahi Ve and Tell'em Nowt when a close-up third at the track last month. The latter was a beaten favourite on that occasion but finally opened his account when scoring in the fog at Southwell last week, though carries a penalty.
