Plenty of these can be given a chance though last year's winner Little Glenshee is 8lb higher this time round. Presenting Rose goes handicapping for the first time having won a couple of novice events and beat Knocklayde Sno Cat at Newcastle last time. W Six Times bids for a hat-trick but has been raised 12lb for her latest win and has to race from out of the weights along with Lochnell. BOBS LADY TAMURE (NAP) has been keeping better company than this and ran well for second behind Zaidiyn at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Racing off the same mark here, she may well be up to landing this.
