Captain Mowbray found one too good over a longer trip at Sedgefield last time and can race off the same mark. BLAKERIGG has been raised 9lb for winning at Ayr on last month's reappearance but that was his first start after a wind operation and with further progress expected, Nicky Richards' charge can go in again. Orioninverness finished third behind the selection at Ayr and has since placed again over 2m4f here but Whiskey Chaser still finished a long way behind the winner when second over track and trip back in April.
