Better is expected from Featherintheattic back on fast ground and a conditional's allowance negates the 7lb penalty carried by Bygones Sovereign. The latter scored at Exeter last week and another bold bid is expected. Billy No Name went close at the same track last time and Be All Man should be thereabouts again. The latter is up 8lb for his win at Sandown but A P McCoy takes over the reins today. Look For Love is another recent winner at Exeter but this is tougher and WIFFY CHATSBY is preferred. A winner on good to firm going, Paul Nicholls' charge is dropped in class after October's fifth at Cheltenham and an absence since is unlikely to be a problem.
