Don't let the big field put you off here as it should pay to concentrate on the usual trainers who do well in this sphere and of those Jonjo O'Neill's Felinious looks like our idea of the winner, with Jumeirah Jane and Issaquah the likely dangers. The selection put up a decent performance in the context of this race when running out of gas on soft ground in a Newbury bumper in December. This better ground will surely help and a chance is taken with her. Jumeirah Jane was a staying on third at Uttoxeter on debut and comes from a yard that does well here, so watch for any market support, while Issaquah carries a penalty for a debut bumper win at Hexham. This looks tougher and she is unraced on this sort of ground so we will oppose. Little else jumps out off the page and we will take Felinious to score.
