It's entirely possible that easy maiden winner WILLIAM DU BERLAIS has been let in lightly on his handicap debut. He's still improving and the extra distance should suit on breeding. Illtakeitfromhere is a course and distance winner but is probably better known as a chaser nowadays, as is Swantykay. War Of The Pennys was in decent form at Tramore last month but is no certainty to confirm running with Mysticaltou, who is tried in headgear. Crosshue Boy looks best of the rest.
