Verdict
The progressive Super Fellow is taken to make it three in a row with Bushido, Little Tobias and Shotley Dancer likely to head the list of dangers. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he is rising in the weights he has won with plenty in hand and could still be ahead of the handicapper. Little Tobias rates the main danger as he showed signs of returning to form off this mark when third behind Trilemma last time. However, this tighter track and shorter trip are not sure to play to his strengths and on that basis he looks opposable. Bushido is on a handy mark but he has shown precious little on the flat in his last two runs to suggest he can win a race of this nature. Shotley Dancer beat Keeper's Lodge last time but has yet to prove she stays this far. If her stamina lasts out then she could go close but for the winner we return to Super Fellow.
