Watheer went close over 6f in one of these events at Chelmsford but has to concede plenty of weight to the younger horses including KNOCKACURRA. The latter was beaten only a neck in a seller over course and distance last time and may prove good enough. Stormy Bay is another three-year-old with a shout on a recent second at Southwell while Oasis Song ran below par on the Fibresand last time but has a chance on today’s terms.
