BERBERANA gets the token vote in a wide-open sprint. She won at York back in July and went close again at Ripon last time with today's rival Haajes behind. Lucky Numbers is dropping back down in grade after a fifth at Catterick on Saturday and was second at Chester before that with Green Park and Bold Bidder further back, while Fol Hollow and Spinatrix have done their recent winning in soft going. Doc Hay would also prefer some cut and finished second in slow ground at Hamilton last month ahead of Ingleby Star, while Comptonspirit and Bronze Beau are others to consider if back to their best.
