This is a weak-looking contest and though WINTERED WELL is a pound higher than when beaten nine lengths by Portway Flyer at Doncaster the winner has gone on to rattle up a hat-trick so Jennie Candlish's charge gets the nod. The three-year-old Eyeline has already been beaten in a claimer and a seller but this isn't much better while Blazing Bouncer is unexposed. Dungeness has plenty to prove on his first start since February but may well feature at this lowly level.
