Thatcherite landed a double over 5f earlier in the month but is upped another 5lb. Bunce won a claimer at Hamilton last time and will find this tougher but Rigolleto is not out of this back over 6f. The same comment applies to top weight TEETOTAL. The latter won over today's trip at Pontefract on his penultimate start and Nigel Tinkler's charge is preferred to the likes of Chasing Dreams, Tajneed and Lucky Lodge, who all look stuck on their present marks.
