Derwentwater is making hard work of losing his maiden tag and was a beaten favourite once again over 7f here last time. FLYING TEMPO makes more appeal as he won a shade cosily when successful at Wolverhampton earlier this month and Ed Dunlop's colt is taken to defy a 5lb rise and go in again. Darkest Night has a bit to find with the selection on latest running and Dream About You gets a 7lb claimer on board after another modest effort at Wolverhampton last time. Gigli ran a shocker at Kempton in November but is better than that and may finish closer on her handicap bow.
