Verdict
It was soft ground when Hyanna scored at Nottingham last month and she’s been raised 6lb while Beringer carries a penalty for winning at Leicester recently where GENDARME finished fifth. But the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms today and it would be no surprise if the Hannon colt finds enough improvement to reverse running and come out best. We Are The World went close at Ripon recently and can also figure while Returning Glory drops down in distance for his handicap debut having been recently gelded and Cogital is another expected to improve now handicapping.
