SHADY LANE weakened quickly when favourite at Sedgefield last time and only managed third. But she's been dropped a couple of pounds since which means she's now a pound lower than when successful over hurdles at Fakenham before Christmas. Hyperlink may have a bit of scope while My Nosy Rosy will have needed her comeback run at Towcester and is the only one of these to have won at the track. Red Whisper was beaten when falling at Towcester last time in a race in which Beauchamp Viking eventually finished a well-beaten sixth.
