Yet another very competitive race that will probably go right down to the wire. And Feel The Pride is marginally preferred over the in-form Val De Fleurie and the frustrating Kombinacja, who is danger of becoming disappointing after continually finding at least one too good in her races. Cashel Dancer also fits that profile and looks booked for a minor role again if he runs his usual race. Therefore the process of elimination brings us back to Feel The Pride, who is reunited with Tom Siddall for the sixth time today. The partnership have built up a good working relationship and should make a bold bid to record their fourth win together if all goes to plan. Researcher is another to monitor in the betting if the ring produces negative vibes about Feel The pride this time around.
