At first glance SGT BULL BERRY appears to have little hope on recent form but he is 2-2 at this track and clearly comes alive in Shakespere country. He should run very well. The mare Raising Hope is in good heart at present and is expected to run a decent race, while top weight Between The Waters is certainly not out of it if putting his best foot forward. It might be worth keeping an eye out for any money for Scripturient, with his yard being very rare visitors to this venue.
