Verdict
FELTON BELLEVUE has won two of his last three starts now having scored at Market Rasen last month. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but Harry Bannister could afford to ease him down in the closing stages last time and he’s preferred to Leskinfere. The latter is penalised for last week’s success over track and trip, his first win in 21 attempts over fences, while Thais Toir steps up in distance still looking for his first win. Our Idic Boy is a winner over hurdles but makes his chasing debut.
