Jewelled Dagger has changed stables since finishing second at Doncaster but Risk Runner has claims on his third at Wetherby, though it's been a while since he got his head in front. Winning pointer Flying Vic could be interesting over this trip but Carlisle second Fair Spin may have stamina limitations and Heather Glen has gone up 6lb since finishing second over 2m6f at Sedgefield. CARMELA MARIA was put up the same after scoring over C&D earlier this month but looks to have improved since tackling distances in excess of 3m and it would be no surprise if Mike Sowerby's mare improved her strike rate again today.
