Verdict
Do Ya Feel Lucky battled to a short-head victory at Worcester in August and may have followed up at Newton Abbot but for a last-flight fall. She led for a long way at Doncaster last time and should make a bold bid. Gosuatri ran well on his reappearance at Chepstow but was well beaten on his chasing bow at Bangor so the return to hurdles looks the correct option. BELLAMY'S GREY has now had 20 starts without winning but ran very well here last time and the runner-up Sienna Royale has a chance in the previous race so he gets the nod to finally lose his maiden tag. Five-times winning hurdler Galactic Power would have a chance from this lowly mark if ready after a long break.
