Carmela Maria took a tumble when favourite for a conditionals' race over track and trip two weeks ago and has been raised a further 3lb since. She does have plenty of stamina but may struggle to concede weight to HOBB'S DREAM, who is another dour stayer and has her burden reduced significantly by Chris Meehan's 10lb claim. Gwladys Street may have missed his big chance when collared by Bally Sands at Uttoxeter 11 days ago while it's usually worth opposing Shannina and Almond Court. Bright Cloud has won a couple of points but was tailed off when pulled up on his hurdles bow at Towcester.
