Clearly Capable, The Lady Rules and Our Uncle Pat look to have little chance at the weights but the remaining trio all have a chance of sorts. NORTHANDSOUTH is almost certainly better over fences but Bryony Frost takes off 3lb and he might be worth an interest. Charlie Hammond claims 5lb off Destiny's Gold, who has also been chasing but has winning form around here in better company. Cliffside Park has won three sellers for Olly Murphy but is usually beaten when tried in claimers and has an absence to overcome.
