Strictly speaking BERTIE SOUTHSTREET needs a career best to win but this might not be so competitive and he can oblige. The pick was no match for a well-handicapped rival at Yarmouth but races off a 1lb lower mark here and he's got little to fear from these. Colorus disappointed last time and has never won beyond 5f, neither has Secret Venue but he should get home but more of a threat is Tamarind Hill, just 2lbs higher than when winning at Pontefract and a winner here over shorter. Sands Crooner and the tongue-tied Mansii aren't ruled out but Bertie Southstreet can gain a deserved success.
