RIVERS CORNER had a lot in hand when stepping up to 3m for the first time at Wincanton so even a 10 lb rise may not stop him. Fellow last-time-out scorer The Midwife also looks feasibly treated from her revised mark so she's second choice ahead of Spitalfield, who travelled notably well for a long way over a slightly longer trip last time. There are also a few unexposed sorts to note in the betting in an interesting race for the level.
