Loads to consider in this intriguing handicap, with the narrow vote in favour of LORD BERTIE. Equipped with a first-time hood, he highlighted he may not be long in coming good for his new yard when fifth in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago and any easing of the ground would only bolster his claims. Yanifer following his excellent York second and recent C&D scorer Grand Traverse head the dangers. Sterling Knight and Look Back Smiling are others in the mix.
