        Verdict

        Feelin Foxy is in good form at present and can return to winning ways in this fascinating handicap, Distant son and Expensive Art are two others worthy of respect. James Given's charge ran out a game winner at Hamilton back in September and wasn't disgraced last time out when third on soft ground at Leicester. This five furlongs on better ground should suit this front runner and he may take some pegging back. Expensive Art's only victory came on the all-weather but he has some strong turf form as well. Neville Callaghan is a rare visitor to these parts which is another reason to fear this opponent. Distant Sun is also a live danger being from a stable in great form. He has been running over longer but is a hard pulling sort and may appreciate this drop in trip. Umpa Loompa and Argentine are two others in with a shout, but we return to Feelin Foxy as the most likely winner.
