MISTY BIRNAM might be about to go on a winning spree, so low is his mark on the best of his form, and he can win a couple more before the handicapper even thinks about catching up with him. He simply couldn't have done the job any easier at Redcar and with conditions fine, there seems no reason he cannot follow up from a good draw. Bertiewhittle is tricky, to say the least, but is well berthed and if the gaps come late, he can get among the prizes. The Feathered Nest and Intransigent both hold solid chances.
