WINTERED WELL easily won a novices' handicap over course and distance 10 days ago. This is no better and it will be a surprise if Jennie Candlish's charge isn't good enough to defy his penalty. Homer Run has been raised 5lb for winning at Southwell but should also get involved and Icanmotor has been dropped a couple of pounds since an improved third to Mini Muck at Warwick. Lisdonagh House and Highland River have both won here in the past but neither arrive in the best of form.
