Verdict
BERRAHRI should go well given the doubts surrounding most of the opposition. He scored over track and trip early last month and went close off a higher mark at Kempton last time. Hydrant has plenty to find with the selection on running here while Mfiftythreedotcom only won a lowly seller at Ripon on his latest start and Gabrial The Thug steps up in trip after scoring at Wolverhampton. Moonlight Venture and Dana's Present are others with something to prove over 1m2f.
