Verdict
Lough Derg can never be ignored on his favourite track but the handicapper has put the 11-year-old up 3lb for finishing third behind Tiger O'Toole over C&D last month, though he did finish ahead of both Shalone and Frascati Park. Tasheba was second off a higher mark over C&D just over a year ago but his form has been a little in-and-out since, while the consistent Karasenir has gone up 7lb after finishing second at Taunton last month. Novices Act Of Kalanisi and Drill Sergeant should be thereabouts but the lightly-raced LIKE MINDED showed up well for a long way when just behind the latter on his reappearance at Kempton last month and gets the vote today with that run under his belt.
