Stamina Chope has won once in 32 starts and has gone up in the weights for finishing second. SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES obviously benefited from a wind operation as she had a bit in hand when scoring at Fontwell so a 5lb rise looks manageable. Baby Sham had been in good form before finding Class 4 company beyond her at Cartmel while Rubys Reward ran poorly on good to soft ground at Ffos Las.
