        Verdict

        Feanor looks capable of a follow up win here with So Sure and Claude Greengrass capable of making a race of it. The selection has to defy a 5lb rise for her recent Hexham win, when she beat 16 opponents on decent ground in a manner that suggested there may be more to come. The short break won't have done her any harm and with conditions again in her favour and not many others in red hot form she can prevail. So Sure took a Worcester seller when last seen out over fences, with Tony McCoy on board, before flopping on the flat last time. That win came in first time blinkers, and with those off here, plus a 4lb rise and no McCoy things will be tougher, though he can go well. McCoy in fact partners Claude Greengrass here for Jonjo O'Neill, and the combination continue to rack up the winners. He is capable of going well over this sort of trip, but he does look weighted up to the hilt and also would prefer a bit of cut. Keep an eye on the weather because if rain does get into the ground before the race then his chances will increase, but under current conditions we will look elsewhere, and side with Feanor to score.
