Mr Potter carries 6lb extra for winning over 7f here last time. That was his first success in 21 attempts while Mr Conundrum also opened his account when landing a classified event at Wolverhampton. Edith Weston finished just ahead of Jebel Tara when placed here last month and is 2lb lower today but COMMANCHE has been competing over 7f since landing a double over today’s trip earlier. Chris Dwyer’s charge is effectively back on a winning mark with an apprentice’s 5lb allowance taken into account and gets the nod.
