Verdict
Berrymead can land the opener at the expense of Cracking Nick and Piccolo Pete. The selection is now four pounds higher for breaking her maiden tag in a handicap over course and distance recently. That was her first run of the new campaign and this filly looks as though she has matured nicely over the winter months. She was in front of Piccolo Pete that day and with the change in their ratings it still looks as though the placings will remain unaltered this time around. Berrymead still looks potentially well treated and if reproducing her best she can go well once more. Cracking Nick is lightly races with only fours under his belt. His only outing this year saw him finish mid division at Lingfield in a first time handicap. He has now dropped one pound which will not be enough in our view for him to win this time around so with that in mind for the winner we return to Berrymead.
