      In depth

      Verdict

      Bergerac bolted up over track and trip back in April but is upped a couple of grades and raised 10lb on his return. The progressive EXCEL POWER landed a treble when victorious at Lingfield on his handicap debut and Archie Watson’s charge may have more to offer back on this surface. Mitrosonfire need to reverse latest running with the selection re-opposing on better terms while Tommy Tittlemouse makes more appeal than Strike Red though the latter’s recent second came on soft going.
