Bridey's Lettuce has reverted to type since scoring at Wetherby last month but Harbour Force produced an improved effort when third at Wincanton. Christopher Robin is having a first run for a new yard following a lay-off but Jamessaintpatrick finished third over a longer trip here in December and could have place claims again. MERRY BERRY (NAP) appreciated the faster ground at Exeter last month and she is fancied to go one better here despite a harsh-looking 8lb rise in the weights.
