Rebecca Cutis has Fealing Real in flying form at present and the eight-year-old has every chance of winning his fourth race of the season but a 14lb rise for his most recent victory at Ffos Las looks harsh and a better bet may be DE SOTO, who gets the verdict ahead of Tempsford. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding has been in good heart of late with recent wins here and at Market Rasen before being held in fifth place in the valuable Summer Plate at the same venue and he now looks too high in the weights. Richard Lee's Rifleman has to race off an 8lb higher mark than when successful at Worcester recently and of more interest may be Henrietta Knight's Job One, who won well at Stratford last time but is now 8lb higher. The vote then goes the way of Paul Webber's De Soto, who deserves to get his head in front having run well when placed in his last four outings and he is not badly treated back over fences having run over timber last time.
