Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest, and Fergal O'Brien's lightly-raced mare MERRY BERRY is worth siding with to open her account now she goes into handicaps upped in trip. Espressino has undergone a breathing op since scoring over C&D before Christmas so is feared most, although veteran Menapian is handily weighted if at his best so can't be ruled out easily either.
