Feivel was prominent when falling in a chase at Uttoxeter in May in which DUKE OF DECEPTION, who was a well-backed favourite, finished third. The latter can race off a 5lb lower mark over hurdles. Firth Of Forth is 0-10 but has finished second three times over hurdles while Miss Milano initiated a hat-trick when winning over an extended 2m5f here just under a year ago. Sea The Clouds seeks his own three-timer today having scored at Worcester and Warwick in recent weeks but is now on a career-high mark.
