WEATHER BABE easily beat a subsequent winner on her fencing bow at Uttoxeter. She has a penalty to carry here but also her mares' allowance which means she gets 13lb from Silver Man, who almost completed a hat-trick in the Listed Summer Cup at Uttoxeter in June. The grey will give her plenty to think about if fully wound-up but David Pipe's charge can just edge the verdict. Dabinett Moon won a novices' hunter chase at Stratford in May and has won four times between the flags but is probably up against a couple of decent novices here.
