Libby Mae has to concede weight all round after her surprise success at Sedgefield but she's certain to have benefited from the experience. Surtee Du Berlais made a bright start at Warwick then appeared to find 1m6f on her next start at Ludlow too short. The Missus came in for support at Newbury and should do better but this can go to a newcomer and though Ten Trees will come in for support with A P McCoy riding for Alan Swinbank it's JUST A FEELING who gets the nod. Paul Webber likes sending horses to Wetherby and this daughter of Flemensfirth has a superb pedigree for jumping and hopefully will have enough pace for this.
