Strumble Head and Tasheba should pay their way again this summer but both are high enough in the handicap at present. WESTERN KING looks well treated on his handicap debut over fences having scored over hurdles off a mark of 114 a year ago. He's shown promise in a couple of novice events and can open his account today ahead of the luckless Raduis Bleu. Overnight Fame may need confidence rebuilding after blundering away her chance at Wetherby while the ground may be too fast for winning pointer Accordingtopalm.
