Ceresfield landed a few nice bets when scoring at Hexham on her chase debut and has performed well since-she is taken to get back to winning ways at the expense of Trading Trouble and Burundi. The ex-New Zealand mare, a winner over hurdles in her native country, was put up 12lb for that Hexham success so did well to finish third at Worcester next time. Her latest effort when second at Southwell was off a 3lb lower mark, and although she is paying the price for her British debut success, the longer trip here can help. Trading Trouble found only the odds-on Cobbet too good on his first start for three months at Perth recently and should be involved in the finish if handling the ground, while Burundi is out to get the losses back after failing to justify favouritism against sole rival Blakeney Coast at Wetherby. He needs to brush up his jumping before being considered. Rainbow Dance is having his first outing of the season so should be watched, while Classic Lash is fairly consistent but has a bit to find on the bare form. Ceresfield can pay to follow.
