Between The Waters was below par at Worcester three weeks ago and finished behind Gentleman Moore and GOLD MOUNTAIN. Only a short-head separated the latter pair and Martin Keighley’s charge is now a pound better off so could turn the tables with cheekpieces added. Tempuran has been running well enough but Vif Argent hasn’t won over fences since 2014, though was well backed at Bangor last week.
