Pete The Feat has gone up 3lb for finishing second at Folkestone last time but should still be in the firing-line in this similar company. BRING IT ON HOME makes more appeal, however, as he took advantage of a lower mark to score at Fontwell on his chasing bow last month and has plenty of scope for improvement. A couple of these stepped up on their earlier form with placed efforts over C&D a fortnight ago when Ballinhassig finished runner-up a length ahead of Blue Lovell. There's little separating that pair today, while Fontwell winner Miss Fleur could also figure if forgiven a below par effort back at the same track last time.
