Taunton winner Choral Work found one too at Newcastle last time and is conceding weight to FINEST VIEW (NAP). The latter finished a street clear of the rest when runner-up at Exeter last month and Alan King’s mare looks up to winning at this level. Wetherby second Prime Time Lady is another to consider though may prove vulnerable if adopting her usual front-running tactics while Lady Gwen is related to several winning stablemates and Well Done Dani is a sister to a hurdles winner.
