X RATED can make it 20th time lucky for the winning-most trainer of the season Mark Johnston. He was a shade disappointing latest but previously had been a model of consistency and the 2lb he gets back can make the difference. Purple Rock was unlucky not to end a drought of his own last time out at Chelmsford. The 4lb rise he gets for that run doesn't help but if in the same form he ought to go close. Berlusca has run well here on several occasions here this term and likely will do so again.
