BERLUSCA returned to form with a second here earlier this month and he can go one better by taking this competitive handicap contest. The selection has won seven times here in the past and he can add to that tally today at the chief expense of top weight Unit of Assessment who can follow up his recent Lingfield second by filling the same position today. King Oswald is another to have finished runner-up last time out and racing off a 1lb higher mark he is taken to finish third today.
