Any money for Don't Call Me Derek would add to our confidence in Stuart Williams's charge who gets the vote over Blaeberry, Premier Rouge and Pella to name but three. The aformentioned stable have been cleaning up with well-backed animals of late, and Don't Call Me Derek could easily improve enough to add to his Southwell victory of ten days ago. Not surprisingly sent off as market leader, he won with quite a bit in hand, so may well run up a sequence, just as stablemate Sendintank is doing at present. The ultra-consistent Blaeberry will provide him with a test no doubt, while Premier Rouge who is still a maiden, comes from a yard in a bit of form. Pella is out to make up for an unlucky run at Windsor and has the assistance of Frankie Dettori so is the other one for the short-list, but now that Don't Call Me Derek has shown his hand, he can be supported with confidence from what can turn out to be a very reasonable mark of 66.
