Tea Caddy, Me And Ben and Possibly Flora are all carrying more than their allotted weight. The former's trainer, Jamie Snowden, also runs Queen's Bay but she weakened quickly on her belated reappearance at Stratford. Sandown runner-up Tempest River had Baby Shine behind over hurdles on this card 12 months ago and has a chance but SHE RANKS ME wasn't beaten far when trying to give weight away at Ludlow last time having beaten Baby Shine in a match at Plumpton earlier. Her jumping is still a bit novicey but she should take all the beating here if handling these tricky fences.
