Verdict
It's impossible to know what to expect from Me Fein and the market should be monitored closely with regard to his chance. Stadium Of Light is back in a seller for the first time since finishing third at Cartmel while Tower's latest fourth at Towcester came in better company, though he's had his fair share of opportunities at this level. WOM hasn't shown a great deal since springing a shock in a maiden hurdle over C&D in March but the softer ground may help and Trevor Whelan takes off 6lb. He gets a tentative vote ahead of the equally disappointing Bingo Des Mottes and Dot's Delight.
