Verdict
Watheer went close over 6f in one of these events at Chelmsford but has to concede plenty of weight to the younger horses including KNOCKACURRA. The latter was beaten only a neck in a seller over course and distance last time and may prove good enough. Stormy Bay is another three-year-old with a shout on a recent second at Southwell while Oasis Song ran below par on the Fibresand last time but has a chance on today’s terms.
