9/1

Well held in the main since finishing a head second on turf at Chepstow last September. Beaten 13L over 6f at Lingfield last time and this drop in trip should suit.

Successful three times from 26 starts and ran well when finishing fifth at Dundalk last time out. Races off a 1lb lower mark today and this contest looks easier.

Forecasts

Red Stripes (4/1), Berryessa (4/1), Fast Act (5/1), Swendab (5/1), Awesome Allan (7/1), Entertaining Ben (8/1), Zipedeedodah (9/1), Sandfrankskipsgo (16/1), Go Charlie (66/1)

BERRYESSA can make a winning return following a break by taking this opening 5f handicap. The selection drops in grade today having disappointed in a 0-75 last time out but she won at this level back in November and can take this with the veteran Swendab capable of finishing second over this C&D for the third time in his career. Of the remainder Red Stripes is well drawn on his return to a track he does well at and he can finish third today.
