Apart from the three at the foot of the weights, here's a tightly-knit handicap. Minella Examiner, still at the head of affairs last time at Wetherby when coming to grief, is one of the more likely ones after just a handful of runs. He is very much respected on just a third start over fences but STREAM LADY has returned from wind surgery in decent form and shaped well last time. She's only up 1lb now and should be in the shake-up despite topweight. Tudors Treasure is a clear and obvious danger as he has put together a consistent sequence over fences and has been left on the same mark for a sound effort at Chepstow last time. Adherence has claims at his best.
