Attention Seaker returned a disappointing favourite at Hexham last time and will be looking to make amends but BERKSHIRE DOWNS is preferred. The latter was runner-up in testing ground at Carlisle last time and should be in the mix with a similar effort. Rivabodiva drops in class having failed to get involved at Newcastle on her latest start and could be thereabouts while Presenting Rose was a well beaten third over these hurdles recently but this shorter trip should suit.
