Both of Come On Du Berlais’ runs have been in this country and she’ll be fancied to follow up a first success at Kelso but won’t find it easy giving 7lb to JUSTMYIMAGINATION. Paul Nicholls’ Flat-bred filly was beaten 15 lengths when runner-up at Worcester but wasn’t given a hard time in the closing stages. Copper Vale was well backed on debut at Southwell while Carrigeen Kampala and Midnight Rose represent yards who know the time of day in bumpers.
